They're saying this is an experiment from 2014. Not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing anyway.

It's a video stream from the International Space Station, pointing at different directions, recording what it sees as it floats by: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload

Technically it's falling, not floating. It's also moving at over 17,000 mph (almost 28,000 mph).

Anyone else only seeing a 3-second loop on the ustream feed? Tried in Chrome on multiple computers/OSs.

I'm not getting anything to play on that page...

Here are some prerecorded videos from these HDEV streams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsm3mX0zqA4

Some of the footage looks almost to be in the atmosphere. Like at 2:44 (https://youtu.be/Xsm3mX0zqA4?t=2m44s) where you can see the moon setting.

Isn't this very old news?

How often would it be switching cameras or having communications issues?

I've had this on in the background as a nice-screensaver of sorts for a few weeks now; I'd say it spends 1/8th of its time showing that 'back soon' screen.

That sounds really nice. Would you care to share your code?

Yeah that player appears to be freaking out for some reason.

You can also view the stream here https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#iss
