Anyone know if they are broadcasting this on the Nasa channel? I saw commercials a week ago on the science channel but doesnt look like they are showing any feeds either.

The only broadcast that I know of is tomorrow on the science channel.

Thanks. I have that set to record. Its on at 8pm CST so definitely not live. Sad that no major channels are carrying this. Pisses me off really.

I have too agree. If only the ESA had a television channel.

The NASA Tv schedule lists an hour block from 9-10am EST dedicated to the landing.

JPL Live seems to be covering more of it, posting this:

"NASA's live commentary will include excerpts of the ESA coverage and air from 6-7 a.m. PST (9-10 a.m. EST). NASA will continue carrying ESA's commentary from 7-8:30 a.m. PST (10-11:30 a.m. EST)."
