Click here for their schedule. Kinda neat to know what they are doing. Also, by going to Nasa's Website you can click on their Live video and watch things go on. :-)

As Capt said, it will be a bit choppy. But if your on a broadband connection, its not bad at all. I've got a 3-6mbit connection, and I don't notice any slowdown on downloads nor video playing from it. :-)
