Second Life streams the NASA shuttle launch

NASA is serious about their investment in virtual worlds. In addition to gathering information about how best to create their own MMO, they display continuedinterest in Second Life, as witness the in-world streaming of their recent space shuttle launch.

Even twice removed, the power of a launch still moves the spirit. While watching this short video, keep in mind that yes, the footage is sped up roughly 2x, but that actually helps move things along a bit. It also serves to display the movement of the gorgeous Windlight sky over the amphitheater dome.
