David Sarnoff predicted flat screen TVs in 1964.
January 1, 1964 - the first time the three networks broadcast color programming all at the same time
The ESA just did a world first, broadcasting a live video stream from one of its Mars probes. Not one on the surface but flying past Mars. Of course it can never be truly live due to the speed of light, but this broadcast from earlier today (streamed to Youtube; recording posted above) was still the first time this sort of thing has been attempted (not counting broadcasts from the Moon during Apollo missions). Hopefully we'll get live broadcasts from the surface or from other planets down the line.
