NASA astronaut first to "tweet" from space →

It’s not quite the achievement of a lunar landing, but astronaut Mike Massimino made Twitter history with a 139-character post to the micro-blogging site — the first person to do so from space.

“From orbit: Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!” he wrote at 4:30 p.m. ET Tuesday.

Awesome Outtakes

Not quite substantial enough for a full post, but awesome in their own right, I present the first edition of #awesome outtakes.

• I have no idea how to describe this animated gif, but it would be a mistake not to click it. Tagged “awesome” by Delicious user teanau.

• This Twitter search illustrates what happened when inky tweeted “I am awesome. #awesome”. Unsurprisingly, a lot of Twitterers think they are awesome.

• Also via inky on Twitter is this strange video of what appears to be a robot making Japanoise music. Robots = instant awesome.

• This remote controlled truck combines Lego, remote control, and wheelies for an undefinable amount of awesome. Tagged “awesome” by Delicious user _aasch

• This is the trailer for The Hurt Locker, a film about an elite Army bomb squad unit in Iraq. Tagged “awesome” by numerous Twitter users, but first by orangearrows.

• In this video we see over 1,500 zombies descend on Melbourne in the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle ‘09. Tagged “awesome by Vimeo user MinistryOfAwesum.

Jer Thorp takes the Twitter search results for “just landed in” and generates this: a 36-hour visual representation of Twitterers’ travel. Get the nerd’s eye view here, on his blog.
