Suit up, space nerds, because the Phoenix lander is mere hours away from touchdown on Mars, and NASA’s blowing this thing out. Not only will you get a live video feed from their site, but apparently Mission Control ops will be liveblogging the touchdown and ensuing alien encouners / totally boring rock digging. Festivities kick off at about 6:00pm ET, prepare to set faces to stunned.
