News: First Twitter from Space

Those of you on Twitter or interested in space exploration and history and junk like that, Astronaut Tim Kopra has become the first person to Twitter from space. Not exactly "one small step" but a space milestone is a space milestone. He hasn't said much, yet; the actual first Twitter from space is about as content-rich as any Twitter:

For anyone interested, Tim Kopra's twitter page is:
