The NASA site announced that just a day before the Discovery was supposed to land, Steve Robinson transmitted the first podcast from space! You can listen to the podcast or read the podcast transcript at the NASA website; here’s the first paragraph of the transcript:
Hello, this is Mission Specialist Number 2 Steve Robinson from the Space Shuttle Discovery. We’re high in orbit on our last day of orbit. Tomorrow we come home. I’m currently talking to you just off the southeast tip of Indonesia in the daylight and moving on towards night. It’s been a fantastic mission up here, absolutely amazing. Some of the hardest work that any of us have ever done. We haven’t had a whole lot of sleep, and we’ve been extremely busy and really happy.
Although this is pretty cool, I’m not sure if this qualifies as a podcast because I can’t find an RSS feed anywhere. Oh well.
