Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity...

DateWednesday, October 15, 2014 at 8:14PM

It sounds like a dish at your favorite Thai resturant... or maybe a part from your car's front suspension... Comet Sliding Spring is going to make a fly-by of Mars on Sunday, October 19th at about 2:00 pm EDT. 

NASA has been prepping their array of science hardware that's available on and around Mars, and it's a LOT, by figuring out where the fragile space crafts will be when the comet comes zipping by the planet on its close approach at a screaming 125,000 mph!

I'm going to try and carry it live on the GOV channel, channel 16 on TWC cable, but it'll also be webcast on NASA TV. 

If you want all the details here's a LINK to the NASA site that has all the information.
