You can watch the first livestream from Mars Friday

You can get a firsthand look at Mars Friday. The European Space Agency is conducting the first ever livestream from the Red Planet. "During Friday's one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes," the ESA said. "That’s 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground."
