My personal preference is the JPL raw feed (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPrbJ63qUc4) but I think that more people watching space here is better! Great link!

From the JPL feed: "My computer was having trouble with Webex, I'll restart Webex and try the visualization again."

Hope Percy isn't running Webex.

I mean, I'd be pretty impressed if NASA managed to get Webex to run on a 133MHz PowerPC CPU and 128MB of RAM.

Are those the hardware specs of this rover?

EDIT: It's a 200mhz CPU alongside 256mb of ram. https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/spacecraft/rover/brains/
