Just about 14 hours from now, the space shuttle Discovery will be lifted into the air by a pair of massive solid fuel rocket boosters. I will be at work looking for the best online feed available. I'm armed with a handfull of NASA TV feeds and looking for alternatives if those are clogged.
If you've got suggestions for live streams other than NASA TV, please let me know. Thanks.
update: launch postponed :(
Posted by asa at July 12, 2005 10:44 PMHello Asa.
If you don't mind german language, this german television channel has a livestream:
Another possibility is ESA TV with a 100 % rebroadcast of NASA-TV.
Maybe not as overcrowded as NASA TV.
Yahoo is streaming the feed as well, but that might be more clogged than the NASA site, so I am not sure this helps.

Posted by: flagg on July 13, 2005 07:08 AMThe yahoo feed looks pretty good to me for now...but it might get more crowded as it gets closer to launch.

Posted by: Adam on July 13, 2005 07:19 AMHow about sharing some of YOUR feeds with us...? :P
Posted by: Yogarine on July 13, 2005 09:18 AMBBC News have a stream linked to from their front page, might only be UK accessiable.

Posted by: ant on July 13, 2005 10:46 AMno launch today. nothing to see here, move on.
Posted by: testboy on July 13, 2005 11:08 AMIf you're in Houston, TimeWarnerCable has a NASA channel which always broadcasts the launches live.
When there's nothing live which is exciting then they broadcast 24 hours a day of other NASA footage.
Posted by: Block Sheep on July 13, 2005 02:49 PMwouldn't yahoo, or google be the best solution?
Posted by: Jack on July 13, 2005 05:19 PMHmm, I hope NASA is right about what they could've done to avoid the problem that delayed the liftoff.
Posted by: Tsee on July 14, 2005 10:48 AMHey space fans: Have you seen this? Also try zooming in all the way.
