@erika - how did you find qik?
will you support Qik on Verizon's network?
other phone support coming soon :)
awesome, just awesome...
JPL - that's in California, right?
Ron Paul is cool...think Culberson a a libertarian too
I'd like Qik more if it actually supported something other than Nokia phones
it's fantastic bha
Folks can't tell you how great it is to hear that you all like Qik
joseph- he just wants the borders secured
It's just a blast ;)
I like him... (never voted Republican until I voted for Ron Paul, this year)
I got to play with @pistachio's N95 in Boulder
I really love Qik
@erica, yes, thanks for this. I happened to read an RSS feed on the success, check twitter, found your coverage, and here we are. sweetness.
not all Repubs are bad, Governor Schwartzenegger's doing an OK job
@jj4tlr - Thanks ;) Twas fun.
@erica - well this was an unexpected treat! good job babe - I am sooo proud of you
Saw this guy on Glen Beck Interview...didn't sound like Republican's are too happy with him..think he's more of a Maverick
I gotta tell you though - this has been one of the most fascinating days of my life. I feel like I was there.
he works with democrats to get funding for nasa and jpl
hey lux, i was thinking the same thing. hah
its gone
Drat - we're frozen
@jj4tlr - Sounds great ;)
I think so.... :)
@erica - will have to get AK on - he luv's science stuff
NASA mission control for STS-124?
@jj4tlr - Not sure yet - but it will be related to Science.
he sure does
fabulous to listen too
yes he is. John does need to take this show on the road
too bad he's a Repub, he seems like a cool guy.
I love it ;) I'm totally proud to have him as our Congressman.
@erica - so what's he streaming about next?
he's wonderful
sure is great to see him so excited about this stuff
i'm betting the site is starting to get pounded now. twitter marketing works =)
passion completely shows
here we go
@fox814 - nothing political - only stuff he's passionate about.
oh, here it is
he was about to sign off.
aw well, he was abbout to sign off anyway
yeh
and there goes the signal again
what will the congressman stream in the future?
uh oh
on and off
Keep reminding myself that this is real
I will definitely be bookmarking this site!
Nice
Talking to Barry the Project Manager
oh no
good stuff
amazed and awed at how technology brings us so much closer to each other
thank you again John. Amazing day!
this was great!
lost video?
this is so fun
Totally John - he's really a natural at this ;)
it is all Erica folks...had nothing to do with it
totally. best coverage of the entire event. right here1
yes this is all great thanks Erica and bhaskar
This has taken the cake
Watching Ustream, Nasa, etc
I've had tons of windows open
haha
This has been the best coverage all day
Co-Founder works too ;) hehe
thanks Bhaskar! this is amazing.
I am not the CEO, am a cofounder
Maybe team him up with Bill Shatner
wow and he's here!
By the way folks - Bhaskar is the CEO of Qik - this awesome service ;)
when will Qik support more types of phones?
haha...it is content like that makes it all worthwhile
He should take this show on the road
@bhaskar - thanks for creating Qik ;)
this website is great, being able to be beside him as he sees all of this history
@bhaskar - He's the Scoble of Congressman
@bhaskar thank you for Qik! This is groundbreaking stuff.
This is great stuff @erica....truly rivetting
his hearts really in it, t truly is his passion, you can tell
CNN is so boring
what kind of magnification do they get on the cameras?
not a boring reporter who doesnt know anything
yes, can easily tell. and thats what makes it better
yeah
fjlsa;
he's like a kid in a candy store
Very refreshing to see
he's very passionate about it
agreed!
This Congressman really digs this stuff
first hand look at breaking science discoveries. CNN doesn't have that!
Appreciate all the people you are talking too
That looks like WATER...from a distance
thanks John
@erica, nope, they cant
I pray for the day when we live in a world when we can spend more on space exploration and space sciences than we do on Defense.
Traditional Media can't compete with this.
Phoenix doesnt move(i'm assuming) so yeh, probably true about survival
its a room full of rocket scientists!
awesome photos!!
Amazing - it's like being there.
a little hard to hear over all the background noise but everyone sounds very happy
There's so much commotion going on in the command center... it's great
cool. listening to the chatter.
i love the energy
I don't think it really can be like the rovers because of the harsh winter. But they said it might survive through the winter.
@bartka I was about to say that about the rovers... I hope the same thing!
Cause he's really pretty cool :) heeh
This is truly exciting
lets hope its like the rovers
I like to say more Geek -
I heard 6 months
bartka: I heard 90 days (3 months) but then someone said 6 months
More nerd than Congressman :-)
@bartka I think they said 3 months
What is the life expectancy of Phoenix?
What did I miss since he went live?
Dude... You are a great congressman.
im back
This is incredible!
he's on the homepage for qik right now!
yes, excitement at JPL is always palpable and contagious
Yes - historic moment.
15 for nasa pics
for all :)
i think I see a martian!
once (not if) any form of proof of life is found (mars or not) Our lives will change forever
About 3 seconds for us
for us or for him or for nasa?
On pics
definitely a lot of excitement.
15 minute delay
hehe
i know, you can hear it in their voices.
I'm excited for them too!
I can almost feel their energy ;)
Folks in that room are so excited
how realtime are pics?
i agree
people underestimate space exploration.
its amazing that he can do this from an object smaller then his hand
hope I live long enough to see a human landing on mars
yes, I was thinking the same thing Hoop
exciting stuff, greeting from the other side of the planet (sydney)
amazing.
gotta love john culberson
Hard to believe that my son will grow up one day and look back at this as a giant leap towards wherever science stands when he reaches my age...
he's funny
lol. he's got a good sense of humor
ok, no caribou
haha, "No caribou"
Amazing
wow - Martian Tundra ;)
Snow on Mars...you heard it here first!
They still won't show photos from the rear of the lander, rumor has it they landed on a Martian igloo.
agreed
everyone needs a congressman like him. he's amazing
Wisconsin needs a congressman like John.
But not sure if that works.
you can try /nick and name
hello NASA
Not sure Joseph
:)
so amazing
brian*
only a few dancing martians, brain
but you get a free month when your neighbor joins too
have they spied anything of particular interest?
any ice martians yet, john?
How do I change my screen name?
Hi Joseph
Found any martians yet? :)
Joseph
E..tried to post message when it wanted screen name..
lol @hoopadoo
Comcast is going to install a hub on Mars equator to provide service 4x faster with an introductory rate of $1.2 Billion per month.
feel*
Hi Joe
makes me ell special
loving this.
they don't have FiOS yet
everyone say Hello Martians! heheh
yes! amazing
hey, it's not bad bandwidth for Mars
oh on his phone
But the fact that we can even beam data and imagery from extraterrestrial soil blows my mind.
700 baud!
i guess there are color cameras
700 bits per second... good Lord, that's like what, 300 baud? lol
700bps
hey hey!
Me too... so exciting!
glad to get B&W for now
yeh, thats what I was thinking
There probably is, but it will be some time before we see images back from it since the bandwidth required to beam color images is so much more.
Going into the main control room.
yay john
assuming those will take longer to get
is there a color cam on the phoenix?
thank you!
very cool
are any of them posted to the nasa site yet?
too cool!
wowee
How great!!
wow. black macbook FTW!
whoo!
Looking good...
On the Mac
Wow
