After an 8 month journey to the red planet, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory is scheduled to land at the Gale Crater in 3.5 days from now, so thats about 3pm Monday on the east coast of Australia.
This is arguably the most sophisticated planetary entry, landing and surface exploration vehicle ever built. If it succeeds, it will boost space exploration tremendously in the coming decades. Its the type of technology we need if we are to send people to Mars.
NASA is going to have a live stream of government agency propaganda, interviews with scientists and cool animations etc before and during the entry. But there is a 15 minute or so delay in radio signal transmission from mars, so not really live.
Here is the link for the stream:

Might make some interesting entertainment for a monday afternoon <3
