Saturday Night Live!

I've just contacted the SFA-TV2 program director and asked if they could show NASA TV live for the Mars landing on Saturday night. That's channel 2 on local cable. SFA-TV2 will not be staffed at that time but our request has been programmed into the automation system at the TV station. What else were you going to do on a Saturday night?

Opportunity Lands: January 24, 2004 at about 11:05 pm CST.
