CCTV is carrying the event live. Pleasant surprise. The countdown clock is showing the landing will be about 0600 MST. patrick On 14 Dec 2013, at 04:43, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:
Several news outlets are reporting that China's Moon lander is scheduled to touch down this morning. Time quoted is 21:40 Beijing Time which I think works out to 06:40 MST.
One report I found says the landing will be covered live on CCTV. That surprises me being that they are so secretive.
But if that does turn out to be the case I see CCTV is on the web at:

It is also on Dish Network channel 279.
