Watch the Discovery shuttle mission live until June 14th

Space-Shuttle-Discovery-Launch.jpg

Floating astronauts, space walks, mission control rooms — oh my! NASA is streaming the efforts of the Discovery space shuttle crew to prep that Kibo science module we told you about.

It's really a marvel to see the multinational team of Americans, Russians and a Japanese astronaut named Akihiko Hoshide floating around while performing all manner of tasks, and we even get to listen in while they talk to NASA's mission command operatives. The incredible stream has covered the mission since launch — which can be viewed in the stored highlights — and also has shots of the shuttle docking, as well as an amazing camera angle that gives a good view of the Earth.

It's history in the making, and you can experience it here.
