Definitely much nicer than the solution I found. How did you find that so easily?

I have Flash handy, so I just utilized the Resources tab in Chrome's Web Inspector to see the video resource Flash was actually streaming. This approach works for a large percentage of CDN-based streaming video, which rarely has any unique authentication (as sharing any kind of per-user state with the CDN edges would be quite difficult).

Interesting, I tried doing the same thing and couldn't since it was getting it over rtmp from another cdn, which was how i found mine. Apparently NASA has more CDNs for video than others that i've run into.

http://nasa-f.akamaihd.net/public_h264_700@54826 should work in any H.264 + HTTP capable video player.

Confirmed working in VLC 2.0, many thanks.

Also works in MPlayerX, as an added bonus it appears to be using hardware decode which it wasn't via flash (MB Air 2012).

Is there anything left to be done by NASA HQ? For example, are they still controlling the trajectory of the probe to Mars or is that mostly done by probe's onboard computers? I'm genuinely curious about what kind of things the HQ is doing right now. I've been watching the live stream and there's not much activity besides milling around screens and resizing windows on the huge screen.

At

it is said, that 08:23:00 PM was the last time at which they could change the trajectory 'manually.' (So I assume, that they have just very good seats to watch the show in the HQ )

Is there any way to watch in VLC? I don't have Flash Player.

That didn't work for me in VLC on Windows 7, but this does: http://nasa-f.akamaihd.net/public_h264_700@54826?v=1.1.12&#3...

3 hours ago they were at 300k total views, ever. Now, it's about to hit 1M total views. This is a great chance for NasaTV to advocate for more funding. /just saying

Now, one hour later, they're at 11M views with 120K live viewers. This is good TV.
