The spacewalk lasted for nearly 7 hours and included having to replace the Hubble's batteries so it could work through 2014.Astronaut Mike Massimino started using Twitter in April, and currently has nearly 290,000 followers! (View his Twitter page HERE) This past Tuesday, he sent the first Tweet in space stating:

"From orbit: Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!"

Congratulations to Mr. Massimino, and I hope for a safe return of the entire Atlantis crew.
