On January 22, MIT alumni Timothy "TJ" Creamer SM '92 became the first astronaut to use a new Internet connection to tweet live from orbit. "Hello there, Twitterverse! We are currently tweeting LIVE from the International Space Station—the first live tweet from space! :) Send yours as soon as possible "Creamer's Twitter remark said it all. The message was made possible through the Crew Support Local Area Network, a novel technology that allows astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to connect to the Internet via existing communication channels.
