ISS live cam Options

Hello,

Thought I would share a link to something that you'll find cool. (literally). A link to a live stream cam on the ISS on USTREAM.

I find it very interesting to know that your looking out into a place with a camera where there is ABSOLULY nothing but emptiness. Where nothing can live and nothing can be heard but the eerie silence of space. With a view of a place below it where it is EXACLY the opposite. A place where life can flourish and live, seeing all of that at the same time......very cool.

I agree wholeheartedly that this is cool, but I'm not convinced nothing can live out there. Cornell thinks it'll be 1500 years before we ET calls us back. The logic they use seems fairly sound.

I suspect there's life in the universe besides us. Whether our timelines overlap is a good question, but given the scale of the universe, I think there's quite a bit out there. Intelligent life may be much more rare though. Of all the organisms on our planet, how many have the means to send signals out into space? We've only been able to do that for about 80 years of the human existence...
