I'm trying to watch that, but it seems my daughter her friend who is staying this evening are eating all our bandwidth

I don't think that's the whole problem James, I've dropped IQ to 480p because of continual buffering, but still have continual buffering.

[JamesF]

I'm already at 480p

James

[Davey-T]

Mine keeps buffering, must be at the transmission end.

[JamesF]

I dunno.  Can land a rocket on the Moon, but can't sort a reliable YouTube livestream

James

[Ags]

I have to keep refreshing the page to debufferize.

[Ags]

They've all gone very quiet...

[JamesF]

I'm getting the impression it's not going well all of a sudden

James

[Mr niall]

Boom...

[JamesF]

I'm not sure I can bear to watch any more.

James

[Ags]

Calling it a night. What a shame. Nice idea to land at the South Pole.

[JamesF]

It'll be a great shame if the landing has failed.  I'll try to keep track of it on the news as I'm in the observatory now and I can't stream from here.

Or not! Such a shame. 

[Stub Mandrel]

Oh well. Add Crater Vikram to the maps... 😞

[Peco4321]

I think all this is a stark reminder that landing on the moon is not easy. I hope the Americans don’t get too carried away in all the bravado that just because they did it 50 years ago, it must be straight forward!!  

[DarkAntimatter]

I think we're too worried if we even have that MOJO anymore.

The chance would be a fine thing. Most I got done during all this rain today was to fit a new plug in the observatory, tonight is a total washout looking at the forecasts.

Thanks for the heads up Peter I had a Space.com thing set but it seems to have stopped working
