NASA astronaut sends first real-time tweet from space
The boundaries of technology and communication stand truly diminished at last. Astronaut T.J. Creamer made social-media history Friday morning by sending the first ever live tweet from space. May wonders never cease!
@ASTRO TJ, tweeted, "Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station--the 1st live tweet from Space! :) More soon, send yours." This is what the first ever real time tweet from space looks like, and this feat has been achieved by NASA astronaut T.J. Creamer. On board the International Space Station, Creamer made social-media history Friday morning. New software aboard the International Space State has made it possible to tweet live from space.
During periods when the station is actively communicating with the ground using high-speed Ku-band communications, the crew will have remote access to the Internet via a ground computer. The crew will view the desktop of the ground computer using an onboard laptop and interact remotely with their keyboard touchpad.
Astronauts will be subject to the same computer use guidelines as government employees on Earth. In addition to this new capability, the crew will continue to have official e-mail, Internet Protocol telephone and limited videoconferencing capabilities.”
