Podcast Sent From Outer Space

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducted a podcast from outer space last week.

Mission specialist Steve Robinson sent the podcast from a test flight on the Space Shuttle Discovery. "Hello, this is Mission Specialist No. 2 Steve Robinson from the Space Shuttle Discovery," he said. "We're high in orbit on our last day of orbit. Tomorrow we come home."

Robinson described the Space Shuttle Discovery's location as "just off the southeast tip of Indonesia." He added, "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."

Compliments of NASA, the podcast is available here . Users can download the file directly from the host page. There's also a transcript of the podcast at the site.
