Watch the Mars Explorer Launch Live

If you’re going to be anywhere near a computer connected to the Internet on Tuesday, why not tune into NASA television and watch the launch of the first Mars Explorer rover. NASA’s set up a fast-loading page that will have operational links when their coverage gets started, so you can tune in.

Coverage begins 1600 GMT (12:00pm EDT). Click here to see the page, and then bookmark it so you can check back tomorrow.

I’ll be watching.
