It seems the 7 minutes it wil take for the craft to get through the atmosphere and land safely are something of a major concern, - bearing in mind the cost and time it's taken to get there from Earth.

Has anyone figured out when this will happen local time here in Aus? Do we know if the event will be covered by any free to air TV stations? And will the craft be filming and transmitting live footage as it travels through the atmosphere and finally lands?

Exciting stuff this
I understand there will be no live footage.
