Foursquare: The first person to use social network in space
Astronaut Douglas Wheelock while in space about 220 miles above Earth, checked in on Foursquare on Friday.
He has become the first person to use the location-based social network in space. 😀
Wheelock unlocked the "NASA Explorer" badge by checking in to the international space station at approximately 11 a.m. ET from a laptop.
The NASA Explorer badge is available only in outer space.
Dennis Crowley, co-founder of Foursquare, was bowled over by this news.
"Check-ins from around the world have been cool, but this blew my mind!
I can't wait to see the battle for the mayorship of the international space station," he told CNN.
NASA has fully embraced other forms of social media.
Earlier this year. astronaut T.J. Creamer sent the first tweet from space.
