[Real Time Satellite Tracking](http://www.n2yo.com/). Watch the ISS (or other satellites) as it circles the earth. You can zoom in and turn on aerial photos, streets and such. See what they see (sort of).

Predict when the ISS will be over your house.

It requires a free login too.

Well, it didn’t merely crash my browser, it proceeded to reduce my PC to a stuttering mass. It took 2 reboots to get it back to working order, so I don’t think I’ll be using it. Appreciate the thought though.
