Astronauts Tweet

NASA has recently equipped the International Space Station with wireless internet access so that astronauts can communicate with friends and family back home, surf the net, check facebook, and even tweet. "Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station -- the 1st live tweet from Space! :) More soon, send your ?s," Creamer said in his first tweet early this morning. NASA hopes that the wireless connection will help astronauts stay in touch with their families and make long missions easier and less stressful. All three astronauts on the International Space Station are expected to tweet soon and will be joined by six new astronauts in February who will also be tweeting with updates.
