NASA Television

For those with high-speed Internet and the inclination, I'd suggest checking out NASA Television, which "provides real-time coverage of agency activities and missions" among other things. NASA Television has scheduled programming, which I haven't followed. The first time I looked at the broadcast, however, I was blown away by the live feed from the space shuttle of the Earth slowly spinning. It reminded me of what I've read about how, when people saw photos of the Earth from space for the first time, they realized how precious the planet really was. Now, decades later, I can follow the astronauts' progress in space on my laptop.
