According to yahoo.com , astronauts finally have internet in space. Before this came about they already ” had an Internet Protocol phone for private calls to family and friends.” Astronauts have been waiting for this for quite awhile now because being in space is quite a long state of isolation. Being in space long can surely be lonesome and boring at times. Today astronaut Timothy Creamer, posted the first twitt from space, “Hello Twitterverse!” he wrote. “We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! 
More soon, send your ?s” I know I get distracted if I had Internet, and some people think the astronauts will get distracted to, but NASA doesnt think they will though. NASA says that they are professionals ”so they’re going to get their work done first.” Internet in Space will be great because they will now be able to talk to family and friends and also report if something happens.
