A NASA photo of space shuttle Endeavour shows a certain Apple music player sitting in the window console





This NASA photo released last week of space shuttle Endeavour would likely have gone unnoticed by the gadget set if it weren't for some keen blogger eyes that spotted an iPod sitting in the window console.

Astronauts have been allowed to fly with iPods for the last few years, "a great space saver over CD players", according to recent ABC News story. But the devices can only take flight after their Lithium batteries are replaced with alkaline AA batteries that are certified to fly on the shuttle. And iPods aren't yet certified for use on the space station, the story said.
