The Pope spoke to the Shuttle and ISS astronauts for 18 minutes.
From Yahoo! News
“The long-distance papal audience was arranged by the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. NASA provided technical support from Mission Control in Houston.
Inside the ancient frescoed halls of the Vatican — where email wasn't even in wide use until a few years ago — the call was received with visible awe.”
