You can twitter upside down, but what about upside down in SPACE?

Happily, this is now possible! Now everyone up there can twitter and check their Facebooks whilst floating upside down in zero gravity.

The International Space Station is now receiving access to the world wide web via wireless connection, made possible by a very special software upgrade this week. They may now send emails, engage in limited video conferencing, and do whatever else they're allowed by the government to do.

This is not only fun and awesome, but it also will help the astronauts deal with isolation from Earth life and loved ones...ya'know.

To follow the astronauts on twitter, please click this link.

To learn about the history of sugar or Erwin Rommel, please click on their respective names.
