NASA on Google Maps Street View

This is some pretty cool stuff!  I was recently visiting Google Maps' Street Views of the Kennedy Space Center; something I have been wanting to share with my 8th grade team because they frequently connect with NASA for a video conference for their students via Tandberg.

Right from Street View's galleries you can view several collections of imagery that are amazing, interactive and allow you to tour around the world from the comfort of your own classroom.  Click the "Behind the Scenes" tag for more content about the subject and related links.  Browse through their collections, add them to our curriculum and give your students a really cool, life-like tour.  And these interactive Street View tours are amazing on the interactive whiteboard in front of the class.  Have a student pick their favorite and give the class their own tour.

NASA has their own collection of several different locations allowing you the Grand tour - Space Shuttle main engines, Top of launch pad 39A, Apollo 14 Command Module, Atlantis Space Shuttle, Firing Room #3, and more.

Here is a sample of one of their Street Views.  This is my favorite view from it:
