Podcasting from Space

An anonymous reader writes "Podcasting has officially made it into orbit! According to a Geekzone article, Mission Specialist Steve Robinson delivered a short monologue off the southeast tip of Indonesia in which he described the morale of the Discovery crew at the end of their well-publicized mission: '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.' A transcript of the podcast as well as the MP3 itself can be found at Nasa's site."

    What is podcasting?
    New NASA technology?
    Something like blogs.

    Podcasting is just another hip-to-be-cool term coined by some luminary metrosexual in the blogosphere. Somewhere out there right now there is a passive agressive latte sipping boob tapping "how I invented podcasting", his first book, into an imac. Its the new warhol, baby. I can't wait until the standard of coolness for these new age middle age wanna be a teen icon sorts is how long you can survive in a room with a starved pit bull.

    Plus, since mp3s are smaller than uncompressed audio, the files weigh less.
