Item #1 : Space Shuttle Atlantis from above.
It’s a nice, large hi-res image too, much larger then shown here.

”
The Space Shuttle Atlantis begins the slow journey to Launch Pad 39A from
the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).

This dramatic view looking directly down onto the Shuttle atop the Mobile
Launcher Platform (MLP) and crawler-transporter was taken from the VAB roof
approximately 525 feet (160 meters) above the ground. Atlantis is scheduled to
lift off on Mission STS-79 around September 12.” (Official full photo description)

Item #2 : NASA to beam “Across the Universe” by The Beatles into space on Feb. 4, at 7pm East Coast Time.

“The transmission over NASA’s Deep Space Network will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the day The Beatles
recorded the song, as well as the 50th anniversary of NASA’s founding
and the group’s beginnings. NASA is full of anniversaries this week:
The launch 50 years ago this week of Explorer 1, the first U.S.
satellite, and the founding 45 years ago of the Deep Space Network, an
international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the
universe.  

The transmission is being aimed at the North Star, Polaris,
which is located 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel
across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second.”
