Curious about Curiosity? Here's info on where to watch!
However, we'll be able to follow the progress of the lander, since it will be sending signals back to Earth during the complicated and, frankly, terrifying deceleration process and Rube Goldbergian sequence to get down to the surface.
If you want to watch the proceedings live, I have a few things you can do.
2) You can always watch NASA TV. They've posted a schedule of events for media.
3) If you are in the Pasadena California area, then join the party! Literally: The Planetary Society is throwing a bash to celebrate
and watch the landing at the Paseo Colorado - Garfield Promenade on Saturday, August 4. Attending will be TPS blogger (and big pal o' mine) Emily Lakdawalla as well as Bill Nye (yes, THE Bill Nye). You can get more info on Emily's blog, and get tickets online. If I could, I'd go there too! But I'll be at home and quite busy myself (see #1 above).4)
