NASA Phoenix Video

I guess this is the best place to watch for news about how it all goes down: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/main/index.html.

The fascinating part to me is really the offset between actuation and radio feedback from the mission. The lander will have already landed (or crashed) several minutes before NASA even hears back that the descent has begun. Imagine a video game with 10 minutes of latency. I also enjoy being reminded that we all operate under similar (although much shorter) latency conditions in our everyday lives.

So, let’s keep fingers crossed, are there any betting pools out there on this event?
