How cool is it that the an Atlantis crew member is tweeting from space as they fix the Hubble telescope:

Massimo said in posts earlier this week that he was enjoying the magnificent views in space. Massimo’s message appeared on NASA’s Twitter feed. When he was training, Massimino began “tweeting” in early April. He now has a following of more than 247,000 people on Twitter.
While in space, Massimino e-mails the Johnson Space Center, which then posts the notes to Twitter. The astronauts can send e-mail once or twice a day, but they don’t have Internet access.

Massimino’s first tweet from orbit read, “Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!”
