Astronauts to Tweet From Space During Shuttle Atlantis's High-Risk Mission

AFP: Mike Massimino, 47, blasted off into space Monday with six other crew members. But thanks to Twitter, the space veteran is keeping his promise to stay posted, even from space.



“Next stop, Earth Orbit!!” Massimino — whose Twitter account is Astro_Mike and can be found at Twitter.com/Astro_Mike — wrote in his most recent tweet, posted just hours before takeoff.
