Here's a pretty cool graphic of the final decent with all the details. The rocket powered "sky crane" is truly incredible:

I have to agree, it is horrible that we have come to a point in society that something of this level of human enginuity does not spark the interest needed to even support 8000 people in bandwidth. I find myself on a daily basis becoming more jaded by what we have come as a nation. I feel like everything is always building up to a total collapse. I dont want to get into a large rant here but I am sickened by the current disolutionment of humanity in general.

Ustream.Tv

That seems to be the one that will show the landing live.

Right now it's just a loop of an old press conference.
