A certain micro-blogging site has enjoyed much popularity this year, attracting talented artists like Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher, but now even astronauts can't fight the temptation to tweet.
Twitter, the site whose objective is to publish human chirping in real-time, has a couple of new (identical) users: NASA's mustachioed twins, Mark and Scott Kelly.
Mark is the commander of mission STS-134 and his rocket is set to launch in late 2010. Scott is also a commander, but of station Expedition 26, which is set for 2010 as well. Barring any hiccups, the two will meet in space sometime next year.
For now, space travel enthusiasts can keep abreast of any mission developments by looking Mark and Scott up on Twitter.
Both brothers are Navy captains and both were selected by NASA in 1996. Mark has been up three times and has spent a total of 38 days floating in space. Scott has been to space twice for a total of about 21 days. He'll have out-spaced his brother when he returns from his six-month stay aboard the station, however.
