LRO Is Now Twittering

By Keith Cowing

June 2, 2008

Editor’s note: LRO is now twittering! But it only has 39 followers – so far.

Editor’s update: I just twittered: “Maybe @MarsPhoenix can send a note of encouragement to @LRO_NASA who is Twittering from the (boring) white room right now (ala C3PO/R2D2)”. Perhaps Phoenix can send some new fans to LRO.

Hmm … you could take little SMD snippets about what each mission does and have a little conversation … one that also brings followers down a path to understanding both missions …

@MarsPhoenix: “Hey I think found lots of water ice – here’s a pic http://tinyurl.com/5leso8“

@LRO_NASA: “Yea well, I may find some too – here’s where I’ll be looking http://tinyurl.com/5g8kf4“

Sort of a social networking/EPO precursor version of the Interplanetary Internet …

Editor’s update: LCROSS_NASA just went online at Twitter.
