In related space matters: the ISS has a webcam!
Last week I saw a hurricane from space. Yesterday, they were struggling to get Win2000 to connect to a LAN.

- pavel_lishin 16y agoWait, what is that a webcam of? I see a computer monitor, nothing spacey at all, and hearing Russian radio chatter.
- v21 16y agoAh, yeah, right now it's switched to a map showing the position. Sadface. But the last few days it's been showing an interior view, and before that mainly exterior shots. You get a mission overlay a fair bit, too, which is a shame - I assume this is when video signal is lost. The Russian radio chatter is ground talking to astronauts in Russian. There's also English radio chatter, too.
- zacharycohn 16y agoThere are spacey things going on right now! Someone is floating through the air!!
- jeebusroxors 16y agoThey used to have SSTV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSTV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSTV) as well. I never successfully captured one but I have from other SSTV stations. It's a very cool feeling to receive pictures from someone hundreds of miles away over "nothing" (radio). I can only imagine the feeling receiving photos directly from the ISS.
