If micro blogging on Twitter from space is a hoax.
How about landing on the moon?
There is 30 years of technology advancements in between.

“Also, way to own up to your mistake by passively stating that Mike’s message “got lost” instead of saying that you messed up. If anyone has explaining to do, it’s you.”

I like how you say “fixed” and then don’t fix it. I guess it IS amateur hour.

In case you’re still not seeing it, you said “kinda of”. I figured that since we’re calling people naive, I’d point this out.

Also, way to own up to your mistake by passively stating that Mike’s message “got lost” instead of saying that you messed up. If anyone has explaining to do, it’s you.

That said, perhaps next time, NASA can write a simple script to post e-mail content directly to Twitter. That should quell these frivolous articles.

What’s the big deal? We all knew he was posting them to NASA who were forwarding them to Twitter. They were still his words, his thoughts. I have followed every moment of this difficult & dangerous mission. You know what the big deal is? That we can do stuff like this & that someone like Mass can share the experience with us.

exactly why i clicked through. who the fuck cares? it’s twitter. you don’t go telling me about what people are putting in their away messages on AIM, do you?

Haha, I can’t believe TechCrunch tried to turn this into a story after Mike had already tweeted before the launch that it wasn’t actually going to be him updating.

AGREE!

Twitter, twitter-twitter. Twitter? Twitter!

Um … honestly who cares if he was doing it real time or not do it at all. As long as he did his primary job that’s all that matters. You people need to relax… Would you like them to brake the Hobble telescope while they twitter in space:)
