NASA has broadcast-quality audio and video clips from the ongoing STS-134 space shuttle and other missions available online through the Internet Archive website.
The agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston is digitizing, cataloging and archiving audio files for news media use. These files include an entire calendar day’s conversation between the Mission Control Center and the crews aboard the shuttle and International Space Station, clips of wake up calls and news briefings.

Whenever my husband would give talks about his Space Shuttle missions, he would bring out the dreams in all the people in the audience. When I worked at NASA's Johnson Space Center, I was really impressed with the sense of common mission that everyone had. As a country, we do seem to have lost our optimism and sense of wonder and spend much more time criticizing the space program than embracing it.
NASA is designing a new space vehicle. So maybe, you'll get a chance to see it launch into space at some future time.
The human spacefaring nations should band together to return to the Moon and operate the International Space Station.
