I hate twitter as much as the next person, but this is something definitely worth checking out.

Twitter-active Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has been tweeting from orbit--providing an interesting perspective on instruments, details of his journey, and some gorgeous pictures of Earth from the space station.

Sands of the Sahara - starkly beautiful, a harshly serene and unmistakable part of the Earth's skin. Just stunning. twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…

But on January 2, things took a decidedly geeky turn when none other than William Shatner sent out a tweet, and Chris Hadfield responded by writing to Captain Kirt instead.

@williamshatner Yes, Standard Orbit, Captain. And we’re detecting signs of life on the surface.

Since that alone wasn't fun enough, soon George Takei (Mr Sulu), Leonard Nimoy (Spock), and Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher) joined in on the conversation. Click the link below to read the full story!
