I think a Tweet from space is novel in that it recognizes a more social way of relating. However, I do think it would be cool for an astronaut to take questions from space, that would be noteworthy. Given the overall terrestrial resistance to anything social media, especially in bureaucratic agencies, I think that the fact that the resources and time allotted to this (which is so limited on missions) was a major win.

Astronauts have already emailed, chatted, and blogged from space, so I don't see tweeting as anything particularly ground-breaking. After all, NASA is already a very twitter-heavy organization with dozens and dozens of twitter accounts under its umbrella. @astro_mike is a welcome addition, but he's not doing anything that different.

I'm learning myself, and there are plenty of "youngsters" out there to speed up the learning curve. Congratulations, NASA, for joining in with social media.
