Here's the direct link to live video from the Mars Landerwhich should be broadcasting images from the Mars surface later today. You can find more info and perhaps higher quality archived feeds at the main Mars Lander site.

D'oh! It seems that the Mars lander is not sending any data since it touched down. It may have crashed, or the communications equipment may have gone down. Apparently there should be a press conference soon, probably linked from the main Mars Lander site. I've heard this project was done on a really slim budget, so you maybe you get what you pay for.

Two hundred million dollars just doesn't buy what it used to... why, when I was a youngster...
