I started following the space tweets when they started a few weeks ago...truly amazing that we can follow along and virtually experience what's happening above us all. I hope to take photos from space before I die...with the new advancements in space travel, particularly with what Richard Branson is doing with Virgin Galactic, it could very well be a possibility! http://www.virgingalactic.com/ Fingers Crossed!
