I just heard the ISS is being decommissioned, and I learned about it here in this forum. Obviously that's a big deal and I should have known about it, had I been keeping up on the latest news. What websites do you guys use to keep up?

It will not be decomissioned in 2020 just like Curiosity won't be abandoned after its initial time span of predicted work. It's the "best before", not "throw away after" date.

There are lots of websites where you can get the latest news, but one of the easiest ways is to follow some particular pages on facebook to see their news feed.

My sites are:

NASA newsletter(currently, the NASA is in shutdown)

SpaceX youtube channel

NASA youtube channel (currently down)

Jet propulsion laboratories channel

Space.com

Copenhagen Suborbital's news letter

A lot of space related facebook pages(NASA, SpaceX, Jet propulsion laboratories, ISS, curiosity etc...)

Warning for the NASA newsletter: you will receive at least one mail each day, be prepared!

www.NASASpaceFlight.com has the most information, particularly if you subscribe to its L2 section. You can get technical documents, high res images of just about anything, flight manifests, user manuals, after action reports, powerpoint presentations, etc etc etc there. They have great feature articles 3-4 times per week and the forums are frequented by a large selection of space industry folks who provide often up-to-the-minute updates.

SpaceFlight Now has a very nice launch tracker (http://spaceflightnow.com/tracking/) with links to mission updates.

SpaceFlight 101 (http://www.spaceflight101.com/) does very nice technical articles on launches.

Space News (http://www.spacenews.com/) has good industry articles -- covers more of the business side of space flight.

I personally find Space.com to sometimes be interesting, but often pretty sensationalist. It's like the Popular Science of space flight.
