They were hoping that Odyssey would be able to provide footage of the parachute stage but that didn't happen. Although I would t know as I stayed up all night watching NASA tv then fell asleep at just after 6. Then was woken up by all their cheering after it landed safely.

For anyone that missed it - Warm-up Show (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/24510334) and coverage from the landing (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/24512027).


Edit - Another vid showing the feed and NASA's 'Eyes on the Solar System' app - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E88d4e1gYh0

I just managed to grab a quick clip on Sky about a press conference. He mentioned being there with 4 other countries but he wouldn't elaborate on who?!

Anyone know who they are and why he wouldn't elaborate?
