NASA Kickoff Stream

[nickcvet89]

Hey all, my team is opting to meet at our high school so we could watch the broadcast after doing some training seminars for our students. Anyone know if the kickoff broadcast will be available online through NASA? We don't plan on attending any of the local kickoff events.

Yes, it will be. It's already on the schedule for NASA Live TV on the Education Channel for 10:30 EST

EDIT: How do you plan to get your kit of parts?

Make sure you have a plan in place to get your kit of parts, since that usually requires going to a local kickoff.

Yep, NASA has it streaming live on their 'Public' and 'Education' channels. There is a 'flash' version on the NASA website and a Ustream flash version of each channel.

There's always surrogate pick up. (I was entertained when I discovered I could opt to send our KOP to, say, Alaska for a different team to help us retrieve.)
