NASA takes Twitter out of this world.

Follow NASA Mission STS-132 as astronauts ready Atlantis for a trip to the International Space Station to deliver an integrated cargo carrier and Russian-built module. Full of TwitPics and links, the 140-character limit per post imposed by Twitter doesn’t hinder the updates. In fact, the images via TwitPic make the limit almost meaningless. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but these images will leave you speechless (twitter.com/nasa_astronauts).
