NASA: Live and in Color!

Check out these live NASA- Kennedy Space Center video feeds compliments of Spaceref.com. There are links here from the International Space Station, launch pads, mission control, the processing center and the official KSC weather service.
It's cool to watch the people in mission control, just sitting around, watching screens and drinking coffee. It's 11:30 p.m. there when I'm writing this. I wonder what they are doing. Monitoring the ISS or some mundane weather satellite. Or maybe several missions all at once; watching our baby Spacecraft gingerly float their way through the Solar System.


Also, here's a story on the payload for the STS-114, Return to Flight mission, Raffaello. Talk about interesting: Who knew loading cargo for a Spaceflight required so much care. I would think you'd just load it like luggage, but apparently dozens of people in "Moon suits" using ultra slow moving cranes, pulleys and conveyors work for hours to load each single piece.
