Space Coolness--LIVE

Today, I present to you some fun space links to see what's happening right now:

See what the International Space Station Sees:  Live link at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html

Hey!  I can see my house from here!
Want to see the moon as well?  Check out this site:  http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/

Remember the Voyager probes?  We're still discovering stuff from them!  They're in the heliosheath (the outer part of the heliosphere where solar wind is slowed by pressure from interstellar gasses--about 80 times the distance from the sun that the earth is!  You can exactly how far they've traveled here:  http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/where/index.html
Can you hear me now?
Explore Mars!  This site optimistically assumes we will be at Mars by 2019. (Gasp, choke, and heave a sigh.)  However, it's given a great interactive look at what a Martian colony (by us, not little green men) would look like based on current science and engineering (as of 2009, but it's still awesome):  http://www.exploremarsnow.org/
No, John Carter is not your tour guide.
If touring about isn't for you, you can play at space engineering here:  http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/classroom/jason/a1_yd.html

Sadly, it didn't let me design this. Sigh.
