Launch in 7 hours 45 minutes.

We can make a dynamic (red timer™) clock for that :

Damn. the stream is constantly breaking here...

I guess it's heavy load at their side. It started dropping for me every half of minute about 10 minutes ago.

My feed works without hiccups on HD - though I was cheating with linking to my college's VPN....

Back to the mission, I honestly don't know there are so many factors at play for the thining of the Martian atmosphere!

I guess it's heavy load at their side. It started dropping for me every half of minute about 10 minutes ago.

I reduced to 480, less problems now, though the stream still fails every minute. But according to my router, the available DSL connection is not yet fully utilized.
