I've not - but I've been meaning to. I'll definitely check iPlayer. I heard a preview of it on the radio and it sounded fantastic. It's got the chap from D*Ream presenting, hasn't it ;)

There's a NASA TV station in the US that feeds live coverage from the space station. Commentry is limited and it's bit like watching the grass grow....but...it's really interesting, gives a good insight into the day to day stuff that goes on up there....no idea if its available online or in the UK....
