I guess technically it's on an 11 minute delay for the whole planet.
Well yes, but I meant I watched continuously from 06:45 to 07:15 and it was replay of pre-recorded videos of the rover and no indication on screen it had landed.
odd, I'm in Aus too and I watched the entire thing live with no issues (assuming you're in QLD on EST)
I am. Maybe I turned away at the wrong crucial 30 seconds.
(Edit) I checked the JPL clean feed and none of the last two hours of feed is what I saw being sent on NASA live. I got a walk around the robot, and social media about the kids who named it, and talking heads. Bizarre.
