- 3.2 millionusers watched the official NASA broadcast of Curiosity’s Mars landing on UStream
- 500,000 users tuned in during the Ustream broadcast’s peak point, via several different content streams source

The folks at UStream don’t seem to think it was a fluke either. “This speaks to how much more sophisticated social media tools are getting on the web,” said company spokesman Tony Riggins, adding, “Consumers are adapting technologies to get news now from sources like Ustream.”

does that indicate that the core viewers of fox news aren’t as interested by scientific news as the viewers of other networks?
