You can get a live view of Earth from the International Space Station approximately 30% to 40% of the time, at best. Click on Live ISS Stream from NASA. There are five sites that I know of for tracking the Space Station and they are: Real Time Satellite Tracking, Heavens Above [occasionally shows other satellites instead of the Space Station], ISS Tracker, esa ISS Tracker and SPACE.cweb.NL.
Editor's Update 5/20/2014: See "ISS HD Earthviewing Experiment" for high definition video from the ISS:
