This is borderline neat, but my hatred for Twitter is so powerful these days that I can’t be sure. Nature—you know, Nature—is tweeting the Apollo 11 landing. “But Carlos,” you say, “that was 40 years ago, lol!” True, but Nature is tweeting the landing as if it were happening today. The first tweet: #Apollo 11 passes 9-hr flight readiness review: 16 July launch date approved. http://twitpic.com/7m76r
The updates seem to be coming fairly frequently, at a couple per day. As of now (late Thursday morning as I write this; no idea when it’ll go up live on the site), there’s four tweets, and they’ve been at it since yesterday.
In fact, yes, harmless and fun. Hopefully there’s more pics on the way, too.

Hi!
This sounds great! If you find this interesting, you will also LOVE this film I have just seen!
This amazing documentary is called Moonwalk One-The Director’s Cut and was initially filmed in 1969. It is an amazing account of the Apollo 11 space mission in which man first walked on the moon! Not only does it capture the scientific accomplishments, but it also serves as an outstanding time capsule of society at the time and their reactions!
Forty years later, it turns out that the original director, Theo Kamecke, has the only pristine copy of the original 35mm film. Never before released to the public for home viewing, the film has been restored to a spectacular high-definition wide screen masterpiece with an all new soundtrack!
Make sure to get your copy in time for the 40th anniversary of man walking on the moon! I got my copy at http://www.amazon.com, and you can also orider it at ww.co.uk and http://www.moonwalk.com. This is a great film for students, teachers, enthusiasts, families, and more. No matter your interest, this film will not be a bore!
Best wishes,
Lauren
