dancinglightsMany NASA employees and space fans are already waiting out the countdown to May 11, the current launch date for the final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope. Through their own media publications and social networking sites, the folks at NASA are offering an unprecedented public view of the mission from prep to spacewalks, mostly via the internet.
* Mike Massimino, an astronaut and mission specialist for Servicing Mission 4, has a twitter account broadcasting the crew's prep for the mission.
* There is a facebook page for updates to the mission, with quite a lot of video content shared by NASA.
* Broadcasts of the spacewalks will be available in HD on the NASA television cable channel in the US and also on an official YouTube channel.
* Finally, NASA has its own web page with lots of technical information on the hardware being installed and replaced.
This linkfest brought to you by the fact that I am getting antsy at work with the countdown myself, and hope to post shiny Hubble articles once it all goes well. Hello.
