I knew there had to be a reason for the internet. Now I've found it.

http://www.nasaimages.org

21 NASA historic picture, video libraries will be made available for first
time to anyone. The site officially gets launched next week but it's
working now. 

If you are at all interested in technology then this is simply somewhere to
waste your life looking at the images!

I always feel I was born too late. All the cool stuff had been done by the
time I had an education.  Technology is ubiquitous now. My kids have grown
up with computers, game consoles, DTH satTV, mobile phones, microwave
ovens, internet comms. They dont appreciate it because it's always been
there and always around them. Whereas I was 8 when Armstrong walked on the
moon. I can remember watching the Apollo launches with my grandad and
wonder what he must have thought having seen the world go from horse drawn
vehicles to walking on the moon. I thought it was cool as an 8 year old
that he was born in the previous century. Now I can wallow in techno
nostalgia and remember the excitement of rushing home from school to see if
there was anymore live Apollo stuff to watch.
