I don’t know if the first Tweet from space was a giant leap for mankind but I thought it was interesting or neat in the least.

You can read the tweet here. http://twitter.com/Astro_Mike/status/1777093627

The story about that Tweet is here. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/05/13/twitter.space/index.html

Here is a story announcing when the Tweet will be.

Then here is the story today saying it’s just not true.

I guess I just wonder why fake it? I thought it was an interesting thing. Sure, as the last article points out, astronauts probably have better things to be doing than sending out Twitter messages but the same could be said about a lot of neat things they have done in the past.

Just yesterday this was announced. You can see the video below.

They also tested stink free underwear.

Certainly none of this is a giant leap but it keeps it interesting and it gets publicity. Publicity = funding as well.

So why fake it?

Another interesting Twitter story was the first Tweet from Mount Everest. Certainly this wasn’t necessary and it’s already been climbed but the question remains, what if they faked this too?
