There's more than can be watched here:

This Is quite an amazing accomplishment to say the very least.

I've viewed some parts of the video, and It's so exciting to see precisely what's going on In orbit. I plan to watch the whole thing later this evening.

I've got it running live while I'm working. It was great to watch the astronauts show where and how they've been living for the last 15 hours, even explaining how good their sleep was. It's also incredibly sweet to see a small dinosaur toy (belonging to one of their sons I believe) that's joined them for the ride!

How cute Is the dinosaur? I bet his son Is so excited and will never forget the event.

It's good to know that It can be run/viewed live. I'll be doing the same at work, the day after tomorrow.
