No Room Left at Goddard to Watch Mars Rover Curiosity Land
Watching Curiosity touch down with Goddard folks is a hot ticket item—with no tickets left. But here's how you can still catch its rendezvous with the Red Planet live.
There is no room left at NASA's Goddard's Visitor Center in Greenbelt, MD, from midnight to 3:30 a.m. Monday for visitors who want to watch Curiosity touch down on the Red Planet.
But you have several alternative options for watching. They may not be the way, but you can still watch history as it happens.
