Space Shuttle live stream on YouTube
I just wrote yesterday, the network speed of streaming video has been gaining popularity and use, and now YouTube has announced the live streaming of the event even more unique: an interview with the astronauts of the Space Shuttle Endeavour ... Space ... in honor of the space shuttle program at NASA, who is retiring from this job last year.
Live video interviews are nothing new on the Internet. But I’m not sure there’s ever been one where one of the participants is actively orbiting the planet. But that’s exactly what YouTube has planned for May 2.
Space Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled for release on April 29 is the Friday schedule in question.
And if all goes as planned, with the launch, and May 2 at 14:15 (ET), the shuttle commander Mark Kelly and his team will respond to questions in a live chat with Miles PBS O O'Brien. Of course, if the launch is delayed, then the interview will be broadcast as well, so you can keep an eye on YouTube's blog for updates..
Here's a video of O'Brien talks about the event and how you can participate:
This unique live stream is interactive, such as a video on YouTube is actively trying to use users 'questions' during the interview. To go to the PBS News Hour YouTube to ask a question, and you have until Saturday, April 30 at midnight (ET) to do so.

Questions of text are allowed, but the video issues are preferred. You should limit your request video of 20 seconds. YouTube also has some tips for novice interviewers:
- Speak clearly and the film in a room with background noise. Keep the camera as still as possible and ask the question directly to the camera
- Browse YouTube videos on the NASA STS-134 to learn more about the mission and the crew
