Discovery mission the number two in
command, Steve Robinson, delivered
the very first podcast from Space.
Transmitted one day before landing,
Robinson's broadcast marks another
first for NASA and gives a telling nod to
the podcasting concept approximately
one year after its popular propulsion to
mainstream.
The 'podcast', consisting in this case
entirely of audio feed (thus no
accompanying RSS) gives a nice
account of Robinson's feelings on
board and some insight into the pride
with which someone in his position
embarks on such a mission.
The highlight for him was the
spacewalk to fix the infamous foam
problem where he could look out and
detect 'no evidence of humans
anywhere'. Indeed he describes it as
the most fantastic experience of his
life.
The historic broadcast can be
downloaded directly from NASA here.
