Tweets from Space. Live!

The Space age as finally entered the... Hell, I don't know what age we call it.  Maybe the Cloudy Age, which was certainly first tested in Pittsburgh and Seattle.  Whatever it is called, you probably used a Tweet to call it that.

We've spent  a lot more than the Insurance Lobby's yearly budget to send men, women and mice to the International Space and Now-Twitter Station.  It was bound to pay off in killer-asteroid avoidance for all of us and advanced tech skills for our astronauts.  TJ Creamer had the honor of sending the first truly live tweet to the eagerly waiting people of Earth.

I can't report what Creamer tweeted, because I still can't find tweets.  I may be behind the curve, but I do know that Moon walking (either kind) is very much passe.

Creamer has undoubtedly inspired countless Earthlings to leap fearlessly into 2008 and try tweeting.  Including those, who like me, have texted on occasion, but only to other people who don't read text messages.  Or who thought Tweets were something akin to a chocowate bar.

Anyway, maybe tomorrow, I'll get into it.  I'm sure I can master it.  Even a spaceman can do it.
