Paolo Nespoli, the Italian astronaut currently in orbit, has gained a significant following on Twitter and has just been nominated for a Shorty Award in the “science” category. We explain how to vote to support him.
Paolo Nespoli is an Italian astronaut, currently engaged in a mission aboard the International Space Station. While many space missions have been undertaken, this one has a unique aspect: Paolo Nespoli is telling the world about his experience among the stars thanks to Twitter. Messages (in Italian and English), photos, videos: @astro_paolo speaks and captivates from his workplace and home. The buzz around his tweets from space has been so significant that Paolo Nespoli/@astro_paolo has been nominated for a Shorty Award, an award given to the best communicators on the 140-character social network. Paolo is competing, in particular, for the award in the “science” category.
Personally, I have decided to support and therefore vote for @astro_paolo at the Shorty Awards for his ability to communicate emotions with very few characters available, for bringing people closer to space missions, often considered so “mysterious” and distant from everyday life. Above all, I vote for @astro_paolo for the wonderful photos he takes and shares: images that convey the human warmth of the photographer and allow us to see our Earth from a completely new perspective.
