Thanks steve_o! My son is interested in the whole universe, so we visit NASAs webpages pretty often

Watching the Space Shuttle floating around in space, is far more interesting, than those lot in that BB 6 house at the moment

How true..is me and mines excuse for not being in bed!!

for a high quality (mostly unofficial link) use this...

don't click on this !

Instead open up windows media player (or maybe realplayer) and select 'open url', then cut and paste the following text line in...

Calrissian: Does not have a problem with 'foam'

Thanks Clarissian, the quality's excellent using Media Player with that link

*NASA TV usually have a whole variety of streams from 50k-250k a second. However, due to all the interest in the shuttle again, they're gone for a basic 35k stream -which mostly sucks bad.

The link above is the generally unknown yahoo link, that comes from the NASA site.
* http://www.space.com also provide a link, although that site can easily get overloaded too.

I'm actually more a space fanatic than BB, I know my MPLM's from my T1 truss.

Calrissian: hmm, weird.

Its a fine enough link,Cal...thanks

I was going to go to bed, but I'm watching stuff from when they docked with the Space Station. Goin to be up all night at this rate

Am so pleased to be insomniac

ahh, yes, the replay for the docking this moment. Awesome footage.

*I don't know - most aren't aware, but NASA TV always covers 24/7 their live spacewalks. Those can be really amazing to watch - they last 8-10 hours from start to finish, but you'll be truly awed - especially since sometimes, you can look up into the Sky, and see the very space station/shuttle that is being shown on the live feed.

I've done that myself a fair few times. They often have a master 3 grid map, and the ISS will often fly over the UK a few times each day.

This is way better than Makosi and Kemal talking about how amazing they are

Calrissian: pitch 40c, roll 20

Link please cal??

ISS/World Satellite tracking
(a VERY nifty little program)

*tip, use the 'zoom' facility. It shows all sorts of stuff, and its LIVE.

Thank you So much...fantastic !!!!

Excellent we've got all the gear for tracking, and watching it's like being there. I love technology when it works like this
