Default NASA App for the iPhone/iPod Touch

http://www.appletell.com/apple/comm...hes-iphone-app/

"Although I don't really see this being a very useful app on my iPhone, and to most others, I am sure there are some out there who could get a lot of use out of NASA's new iPhone app. It was developed by the New Media Team at NASA Ames Research Center and is full of features."

I have this app and it is a nice interface for what is going on at NASA. It covers all the current missions from Shuttle to the new Aries I-X Next Generation Rocket. They also include updates from Twitter. Some similar apps that just do the twitter feeds are available also, but they don't include the extras and this one is free. The only thing I wished it had was a calendar or section for future launches. I'll have to suggest that to them.

And a live feed from NASA TV. I was very disappointed that I couldn't stream the (failed) launch of the Aries today. Had to resort to my (gasp!) PC, and had to use Internet Explorer to boot, since it seems to require a WMP plug-in.

Select Filters from the main page and select Launch Schedules. I think that's what you're looking.

Hmm, would Flip4Mac work for this?

Never mind - I just saw the first reply; you can also get a QT version. Still, Flip4Mac can come in handy . . .
