[Year 12 IT Apps] MSL Landing this Monday during VITTA conference

[Roland Gesthuizen]

There is some great real-world science and technology happening between 3
and 4 pm on Monday. Show it on a big screen if you can via NASA TV. I'll be
doing this at the VITTA conference on Monday during my presentation. It
will be a buzz to watch the learning community that has sprung up to watch
this (and this is part of my talk .. talk about good timing!)
I watched the MSL launch from Canberra Deep Space Tracking Station, we will
be now watching the landing of this robot on Mars. Remember that it is the
size of a VW Combie, comes with a laser and they actually reprogrammed this
thing whilst it was in transit to Mars.
