Is This Possible?

Hi everyone or should I say to all that view this and respond? 
I have a website that involves Satellites and or other relations to space. I was wondering if it was possible for someone to create or at least help me out with the code for a Center Block/Static Page that will display the Space Shuttle control panel featured here: http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/return.to.flight/
I would like to mirror/show the instrument panel shown to be displayed in a Center Block and Static Page.
I am not HTML inclined enough to know what the heck I am doing so I am asking for some help to provide the code to make this possible so that my visitors can keep tabs on the Shuttle's scheduled launch time.
I am not too sure but, I don't think it would take a whole lot for someone knowledgeable enough to figure out this request and make it possible. Thanx to all in advance for your help!

The object you are referring to is mostly a flash object on the CNN site. Unless this is offered to them and to you by NASA then I would say you will have a tough time ripping it off. I doubt that anyone here will assist you in ripping off CNN but good luck.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I am not trying to "steal" it. I was just wondering if it was possible to create this. I have sent CNN an email requesting permission to display it. Sorry, if I lead anyone to believe that the intent was to "steal" it as I know it infringes on Copyright Laws.

Well, not that I condone "ripping off" anyone, much less a huge multinational news agency like CNN (although it would be somewhat cool to get my name on national TV), I'm not going to be a d*** about it like Scurvy came across as (sorry if that was not your intention).
I don't use Flash, so I'm not an expert at it. However, this code I swiped after a quick Google seems to work:
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf">
<embed src="http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/return.to.flight/rtf.navigator_hold.swf" quality="high" width="449" height="294" name="movie" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" plug inspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>
Now, since I was just now looking at Geeklog when I came across your post, actually getting it into a page is your problem.
PS: Be sure to link back to CNN's page so readers can easily check out their original and any additional information. Not to mention that's just morally right...

LMAO! Thanks for your effort! 
I still have not received an email back from them or should I even expect one?

The easiest way is to view the source of the page. Then you seen how they do it.
if ( ( typeof CNN_FlashDetect != 'undefined' ) && new CNN_FlashDetect().detectVersion( 6 ) ) {
try {
var cnn_Scoreboard = new CNN_FlashObject(
"cnnScoreboard", "rtf.navigator_hold.swf",
449, 294, null, {
cYear: '2005',
cMonth: '6',
cDay: '13',
cHour: '19',
cMinute: '51',
cSeconds: '00'
}
);
cnn_Scoreboard.writeHtml();
} catch ( e ) {
}
} else {
document.write("<img src='http://i.cnn.net/cnn/.element/img/1.1/sect/SPECIALS/shuttle.noflash.gif' width='449 height='294' usemap='#noflash' border='0''><map name='noflash'><area shape='rect' coords='325,237,417,276' href='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' alt='Flash Player' title='Flash Player' target='_blank'><area alt='' coords='67,188,326,208' href='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' alt='Flash Player' title='Flash Player' target='_blank'></map>");
}
</script></td>
