The International Space Station has had direct internet availability for a few months now, and the astronauts are having fun with it and getting the people down here involved as well. They're taking tons of really cool pictures and sending them out, even involving people in games like "guess where it is" etc. Kids in classrooms and adults alike are getting in on it, as some of the astronauts are using Twitter to keep people posted on what they're photographing right at that moment.

NASA's site for searching images from the space station. You can click on a map and see the images they've taken of where you live or anywhere else. Some of the coolest stuff is weather features.
