3 Great Ways to Watch the Last Space Shuttle Missions

• wired.com

NASA’s space shuttle Discovery is queued up for its final mission Thursday Feb. 24 at 4:50 p.m. Eastern time, but you don’t need to race to the Space Coast to catch the action.

Thanks to the magic of the internet (and taxpayer dollars), you can watch Discovery and the two other final shuttle flights this year in high-definition, for free.

If space agency technobabble isn’t your thing, worry not: A handful of space-obsessed videocasters rip the NASA TV feed and provide their own user-friendly live shows.

Below are three of the best internet streams able to cater to any flavor of space geek. To watch future space shuttle and other missions, bookmark this page and check NASA’s TV schedule (PDF) and launch schedule.
