As rover’s launch nears, ‘space geeks’ are all a-Twitter

Self-described spacetweeps from 37 states and 10 countries come to Florida for Saturday’s liftoff of the Mars Science Laboratory, brought together by one of the space agency’s newer marketing efforts: the NASA Tweetup. There’s food, beer, bonding — and lots (!!!) of tweeting.

The spacetweeps were full of Thai food and beer when they finally rolled back to Gale House, nearing the end of a pretty good day on Earth.
