iPod Spotted on Endeavor; What do Astronauts Jam to?
We damn near fell out of our seats when we learned that NASA didn’t burn billions of tax dollars developing space-grade portable media players. In fact, it looks like Nasa’s multi-billion dollar budget doesn’t even cover latest-generation iPods! The image above was pulled from a high res of the Space Shuttle Endeavor found on NASA’s site. It’s from a set taken by shuttle crewmembers during an active mission and posted to the site last week. This actually isn’t the first time we’ve all seen images of extraterrestrial iPods but Jobs must be happy that his player is still the tune box of choice for skyward missions. Towards the top of the full pic on the read link below, you can also see a pair of sunglasses hanging near a window at the top of the crew cabin. They don’t quite look like Moss Lipows but we’re sure anyone would look cool sporting them in space. So astronauts apparently enjoy looking suave while they float around up there, but what to you think they like to rock out to?

zack enough wth the apple fanboy posts do the words broken record or scrathed cd mean anything to you?
Ya I just saw this on Engadget. Is this REALLY news worthy? Plus you’d think an astronaut would know to buy something a little better than an iPod.
this is too easy– it’s Spiritualized, the album ‘ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space.’
PS galvatron, give it a rest. Wouldn’t you do better by, you know, hanging out at a Linux blog or something? They’d probably post more stuff you’d enjoy, and fewer things you’d feel endlessly compelled to whine about.
Galvatron, take your apple hating self some where else. You complaining about apple isn’t going to make them write fewer articles. And look who’s talking about a broken record? You always chime in with a negative comment to ALL articles that are related to apple. Get a life bro! Although, your spelling has improved greatly, it’s still hard to make out what you are saying sometimes. Thanks for for going back to school! Keep it up buddy!
Woo woo! Is that a special radiation hardened version?
Ya right… Funny enough – more sophisticated than all of the shuttle’s computers.
