They may have been in space, but that doesn't mean the shuttle's astronauts were incommunicado with the public at large. In his maiden podcast from the heavens, Mission Specialist Steve Robinson offered an update on the Discovery's work and ends with these words:

"I will close this very brief first podcast from space with a greeting to all Earthlings and a thank you for your interest and support. Whether you support the space program or not, you're learning from it. You're learning from it the very moment you hear this and think about what we're doing."
