I've put a launcher on the desktop that invokes VLC with one of the URLs highlighted by Sean. That plays very nicely so I guess there is some kind of plug-in problem on Firefox. My mother can watch the launch tonight though!

Yes, that link just works for me with a similar Firefox set-up running in Feisty (though the connection at this time of the morning is not wonderful, and the stream takes a while to buffer and get the sound and video in sync properly.)

This last one works in mplayer for me, (in firefox) - but only once.
Subsequent tries failed

Re: [ubuntu-uk] NASA TV
Has she tried opening the streaming URL directly from Mplayer rather than
relying on the browser plug-in? Sometimes that works... .
Also, this is the full URL on the link button...
javascript:GetSelectedChannel('
http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx','http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram','http://www.nasa.gov/qtl/151335main_NASA_TV_QT.qtl'
)
...that implies that there are several streams...
http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx // windows media?
http://www.nasa.gov/qtl/151335main_NASA_TV_QT.qtl // quicktime?
http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram // real video?
