Tweeting the moon landing

Given the fact that @neilarmstrong’s fingers weren’t exactly the nimblest they’ve ever been underneath his space suit, I doubt he would have been able to tweet the moon landing on his blackberry.

Nature, the publishing group, is mixing the old with the new by “tweeting” the Apollo 11 moon mission as it happened — 40 years later. Followers on Twitter will be able to read about technical milestones, political challenges, and related events in the space race starting today, just over a month before the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing.
