Works fine for me.

ETA:
NASA has their own stream:

So has it already touched down (or smashed to bits) but we are waiting to receive a signal that it has?

I could be way off, but I seem to recall it was supposed to release from the orbiter around 3:00 am EST, and land about 7 hours later. So I don't thinks it's landed/crashed/missed quite yet, but it is close, about 20 minutes away, if I am correct. Anyone else have better numbers?

ETA for landing is 4pm GMT. 1 hour and 15 minutes from now.

Cool, thanks. How many light minutes away is it?

Thanks.

The NASA lady just said it should land in about 30 minutes and we'll see the results about 30 minutes after that. I think that's about .15 parsecs.

I can't get this link to display more than 10 seconds of video before it stops. Is there a TV channel televising this? I haven't found one yet.


ETA: The BBC link that Dave provided seems to work better. And the volume goes to 11.

I signed up for LiveStream. Might be a requirement, not sure. Works fine with 720p def for me. It has a live mode and DVR mode, so you can see what has happened in the past.

ETA: Interviews right now at http://rosetta.esa.int/.
I can't get any live feed at the BBC site.

Touch down expected 16:02 GMT / 17:02 CET

This is what the ESA site has. CST is CET minus 7 hours, so CST 10:02. Then 28 minutes light time travel for the signals.

I think we're an hour off maybe? It is now 9:22 CST in the US. The NASA lady said "landing in 30 minutes" at 9:00 am CST. So I think we should be landing in about 8 minutes? So first pictures at 10:00 CST.

I think the landing is a hoax.

I'm going by this:

but I've been seeing a lot of errors. NBC news guy said it takes 7 hours for the signal to arrive.

 

[GnaGnaMan]

Landing is right about now. Waiting for signal.

 

[Pianoro]

Touchdown should have occurred right around now, 3:39pm GMT.

Now for the 30min lag.

Yes, in theory the lander has hit and is now broadcasting back to Earth its data. We will know soon.

xkcd has a whale lurking behind some rocks. There are no krill in space, so how does it eat? This has fraud written all over it.

Meanwhile they're getting 'old' telemetry data. But I imagine they're too busy working to talk any more

Go Philae!
