From USA Today:
NASA astronauts “twittering” from the moon?
It’s not such a far-fetched idea, considering the space agency’s current push to partner with Web 2.0 companies like Twitter and save itself from turning into a dinosaur in the Internet age. Some executives at the struggling NASA believe that if the agency can adopt Web technologies like Twitter — a social network for broadcasting thoughts online or via text message — then kids and the general public will be more connected to space exploration and inspired to learn about science.
“How can NASA become hip?” NASA CoLab Project Manager Robert Schingler asked here Tuesday at NASA’s Ames Research Center. “For me, it’s allowing other individuals (and companies) to participate in the program.”
