The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has closed the book on the Space Shuttle program, which begs the question: what is the focal point now for space exploration? Is there a still an ongoing role for the International Space Station's (ISS) to support NASA's space research and exploration?

Here's a spaced-out selection of sites and social media resources that will have you reading the thoughts of astronauts, taking a virtual tour of the International Space Station, and viewing galaxies far, far away.
Sky Calls is a NASA-supported astronomy alert service that puts kids in touch with the sky-night and day. Anyone with a telephone can participate. When there is an eclipse, an alignment of planets, a big solar flare, or a flyby of the International Space Station, the phone rings. A voice message from NASA alerts students to the event and tells them how they can see or experience it. Students with cell phones can choose to receive text messages instead of voice. Of course, teachers can participate, too.
