[meteorite-list] audio transmissions

[stan .]

AFIK it has never been done before but the hyugens probe on cassini is 
equiped with a mic and will transmit sounds back home


most other spacecraft havent been sent to anyplace with an atmosphere to 
speak of, so sound transmissions would be pointless as (conventionally 
speaking) sound doesnt exist without air to transmit it
