I believe there’s an IP connection to the ISS, Shuttle I’m not sure about. For this particular tweet though email came to the rescue:
I will be able to twitter from space if I have time. I will email tweets to NASA who'll fwd them. No promises but I will try my best.

Why wouldn't it?
Because I think it was a human on Earth interpreting data from a machine in space, rather than a human tweeting directly from orbit.
Though I guess these tweets are emailed from a human in space and then interpreted/posted by humans on earth -- so I dunno: do these really count, either? ;)

#9Good thing he's not using SMS to tweet. It would be more expensive!
