-- NASA-TV - Watch the mars landing and help X69 at the same time (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=33287)

Nasa Tv

I would like all of our loyal vcdquality visitors to help out a good friend of mine test out a peer to peer video streaming application he's developing. (get it here) While your testing out his application you can also watch the mars rover landing and some other interesting shows on the NASA channel. Below is the letter my friend posted about it.
Thanks

With the upcoming landing of the Opportunity Mars Rover this Saturday, January
24th, all eyes will be on NASA. Tuning in to NASA-TV is the perfect way to
get live images and updates from the surface of Mars as soon as NASA receives
them. For those of you who have never experienced or do not have access to to
NASA-TV, we at Network Foundations Technology would like for you to partake in
a milestone of streaming media. We will broadcast NASA-TV all day on Saturday
free of charge. You will have access to a live video feed from NASA as the
landing occurs. Not only will you be witnessing a milestone in space
exploration and streaming multimedia, but you will be helping to test a
groundbreaking peer-to-peer video streaming technology. Here
is a link to our site where you'll find our streaming video client,
as well as all the information you need to watch the broadcast. You can begin
watching the NASA-TV video feed right now, but the actual landing festivities
start at 8 p.m., 7 central.
