NASA for iPhone [Free - iTunes link] lets you:

enjoy fast, direct access to accurate, up-to-date space mission content from a wide range of U.S. Space Agency sources – all in one easy-to-use mobile platform. [...] Receive and share dynamic NASA mission updates, out-of-this-world images, and intriguing video links.

    Why is NASA so concerned with going to the Moon ? Hmm maybe cause they never went or are looking for optimus prime :) .

    I think all you "first" guys should try a new trend. Try to be "last". Much more challenging...

    Naa, don't. They think they look cool when they race to post first, when they don't understand how childish and annoying they come off as. If I were the postmaster, I'd delete all their "first" posts as major PWNAGE hehe!

    I recently downloaded this NASA app. It was really useful today as I wanted to watch the Ares launch and the app shows a countdown which saves me having to calculate the time difference (I'm in the UK). The only thing that lets it down is not being able to access NASA tv from the app itself. Still, jumping to Safari isn't too hard.

    Definitely an app to get if you are an aerospace/NASA enthusiast or wish to track the Ares 1-X launch (tomorrow!). Actually, you can access NASA TV from the app itself. Well, kinda. There was a post in the updates section which had a link and clicking it brought up a Safari'esque interface within the NASA app itself.

    What I really hate is people who post unnecessry comments. So, the guy just says he's first and we get 5 other comments on stuff about it. Half of hog probably don't have friends and are justtrying to fit in.

    Anyway... This app doesn't seem like it's for me... But since it's free I'll probably give it a go.

    @JACK I HATE U WITH A PASSION!!
