For those, like me, that are intriqued with the Space Station and our astrounants. Here is a link to watch them 24 hours a day in real time. You can also hook up the audio part and listen to what they are saying. They will be docking with the space station tomorrow..... Click on NASA tv...... www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html |

Very cool. I'm interested in the NASA program ever sicne I was 9 when I listened on radio the first shuttle launch of STS Columbia. Oooman that was a trill. I've been tracking the shuttle program since then as well as any other project NASA feilds.

Ha! I'm so old my mother used to take me to the front yard to watch Sputnik fly over! I developed a fascination with the space program from her. In the early days of the manned space program EVERY launch was televised live and we would be glued to the TV. They broadcast radio coverage of John Glenn's orbit via the intercom at school.

SkyLab fell on July 11th 1977... my birthday. I must have talked alot about wanting a piece of it because my mom and dad bought me a SkyLab mission patch! Did you all see the shuttle launch yesterday? They are continuing the "Teacher in Space" program, beginning with the woman Barbara Morgan who was the backup for Christie McCullogh (sp?) /Challenger in 1986. Also, the payload is a huge arm for ISS! Here's my location's viewing link for ISS... but you can navigate and set it to you own coordinates. Seeing it fly overhead is intense!!!!! It's huge! www.heavens-above.com/main.aspx?Loc=Newark&Lat=40.736&Lng=-74.173&TZ=EST |

I get my love of Nasa from my father. He had a friend that was one of the shuttles designers. I actually got to see a peak of the blue prints before they were ever built. Amazing to see history in action and Science fiction become hard science.  |
