Space Twitter
Twitter 's microblogging service is becoming the most space communication tool. As previously told the program "Vesti.net" , NASA relied on Twitter to promote its program of manned space flights. The solution is cheap, but as it turned out, extremely effective. All that was needed to do this was simply to allow astronauts to do microblogging. Space bloggers decided to make Mike Massimino , an engineer who, in fact, is engaged in the orbital repair of the Hubble telescope, and the commander of the space shuttle Mark Polanski .
- We tried to find an opportunity to share with all that we do, because it is very interesting. But sometimes we are very busy to explain all the details. And Twitter is perfect for this, since you have only 140 characters and you should be brief.
- How do you do this? How can you tweet from orbit?
- With the help of Blackberry try.
- He is certified to work in the open space Blackberry.
For three weeks, the astronauts broadcast the details of their training to the Network, and in the evening of May 11, Mike Massimino sent a message : “I will write on Twitter from orbit as soon as I can. In any case, watch the take-off on NASA. ” And immediately after this message - one more : “I am going to put on a spacesuit. The next stop is the Earth orbit. ”
The readers of Mike Massimino’s blog - and there are already more than two hundred thousand of them - have taken the words of the astronaut as an order. None of the shuttle's takeoff was not covered so widely on blogs, on photohosting and on Twitter. The entire front row of spectators at the observation site of Cape Canaveral was filled with people who were taking off onto their mobile phones and replenishing their twitter feeds with messages about how the launch is taking place.

It was not easy to get to the launch site, but the shuttle’s take-off was also visible from other places, and all this was recorded and hit Twitter. The attention of the Internet public was so great, of course, because everyone was waiting for the first twitter recording from space. True, while Massimino has not updated his blog.
But on Twitter, the second astronaut came to life, who, incidentally, quickly calmed down the audience, announcing that he was still on Earth. The fact is that Polanski is the commander of the next expedition, which starts in June and will probably be engaged in evacuating the crew of Atlantis, which will cross the space debris belt around the Earth twice on its way to Hubble.
