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...

*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.

Am so pleased to be insomniac :D :D :D

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 :angel:

Calrissian: pitch 40c, roll 20
