Twit of the Day
NASA top brass were flabbergasted over the weekend, after their astonauts had seemingly decided to pack up their spaceboots and hawk cut-price electronics over their Twitter feed. NASA spokeswoman Stephanie Shierholz told SPACE.com that “five sales tweets were sent†over the weekend through the @NASA_astronauts feed, which distributes official NASA tweets from their asronauts posting online.
All five offending tweets were swiftly deleted, with a swift apology from NASA themselves:
“Back to tweets from NASA astronauts.â€
One of the most popular NASA astronaut twitter profiles is that of Douglas Wheelock, who arrived at the International Space Station last month. You can follow Douglas here to see his stunning pictures of our majestic planet.
