Did you know that NASA has a tv station? You can occasionally catch
it being broadcast over community tv channels OR, you can see it
streaming video at this site...

You may have to cut'n'paste the two parts of the url, Yahoo Groups
likes to split long urls.
Anyway, NASA TV often shows wonderous live video of Shuttle
activity and ISS activity. I've watched Shuttle launches, Proton
launches, ISS EVA's, Shuttle EVA's. I should have posted this
earlier, they where showing live footage of the Hubble Repair
Mission. Just listening to the crosstalk between spacewalkers and
Mission Control is facinating, and a good primer for what SSI hopes
to acomplish in the future.
One of the coolest quote I've ever heard was durring and ISS
assembly EVA. I don't recall who was in-suit so I can't credit the
quote. Mission control called up and ask "how are you guys doing" and
one of the astronaut's replied "ah, ya know... just hanging out...
building a spacestation... ". Now that's cool!
