#Mars500tweetup–All the tweets

12 12 2011

(Versione italiana di questo post)

On December 6th ESA selected 20 lucky spacetweeps to attend the Mars500 press conference. We were hosted at a luxury hotel in the center of Rome, near piazza Barberini.

Mars500Tweetup 001 creazione panorama

I already showed you some pictures taken during the event (here, where you will also find the recorded press conf in Paris and the Storify page of Mars500 mission) and now I want to recall the tweetup by the tweets themselves. I copied/pasted all the tweets with the #Mars500tweetup in a word document. It was not an easy task, the browser was not responding. After somehow completing the task I realized that it was a 107 page word document. It was harder than I thought but I made it.

You will find a multitude of languages (mostly English and Italian) and you will know a lot of #spacetweeps

SpaceKate “I feel more a part of mankind after working so closely with an international crew” says @diegou #mars500tweetup

IreneUrbina Powder wine, ewww! @romain_charles #Mars500tweetup

mgilbir We had two kinds of wine. Hot and cold wine in powder. We didn’t have much of it so it was just for special events #mars500tweetup

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup – Il vino ‘in polvere’ era per le occasioni speciali (Natale, compleanni).

ESA_Italia RT @spacetweetup: .@diegou dopo aver fatto parte di questo gruppo internazionale mi sento cittadino del mondo, no limits #mars500tweetup

nathanpwong They had powdered wine for Mars500. Probably not up to bordeaux standards. #Mars500Tweetup

TigerGirl528 Love it. #Peace RT @akanel: @diegou “I feel more like a citizen of the world after the mission” #mars500tweetup//Cool! #Science

starlingLX .@diegou “I still feel like a European citizen but now even more like a citizen of this planet… a part of mankind.” #Mars500Tweetup

JacDiam What about mars gravity? #mars500tweetup http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=earth+mars+gravity

IreneUrbina Però non molto buono! RT @ESA_Italia: #mars500tweetup – Si parla nuovamente di cibo, (…) e poi….c’era vino.. in polvere.

JMORTEGA93 #Mars500Tweetup ¡Amigos! ¡Esto está siendo una gran experiencia! ;D ¡Saludos desde Roma para España! http://pic.twitter.com/brWYM4Ee

Luke2375 @JMORTEGA93 I do not believe the answer is really true. It is not going to be so easy #Mars500tweetup

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup – Le tute per le passeggiate spaziali erano molto pesanti ed ingombranti, cadere non è stato piacevole, ma dovevamo testare

martincco When you fall with a spacesuit it feels like you are putted in a fridge and pushed down @diegou #Mars500tweetup

physicist_Rick #Mars500tweetup @Romain_CHARLES “L’esperimento più difficile è stato un esperimento italiano”

bethbeck @esaoperations http://yfrog.com/o0cp2uj The @ESA ESRIN #Spacetweetup gurus. I miss being there. #mars500tweetup @ericarolfe

RadioKate Really fascinating hearing about #Mars500 at #mars500tweetup – see my @spacekate alter-ego for tweets. 🙂

mgilbir The hardest experiment for @Romain_Charles was an italian experiment to understand stress. Tight EEG cap, mouse not working #mars500tweetup

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup @diegou & Romain_CHARLES descrivono quali per loro sono stati gli esperimenti piu difficili o meno amati.

mgilbir For @diegou the hardest experiment was an one with heavy weight & having to use electrodes that wouldn’t stick to the skin #mars500tweetup

spacetweetup most challenging science? @romain_diegou: stress reaction test. point 2 black dot on screen before & after sleep deprivation #mars500tweetup

akanel .@diegou “conflict resolution during the mission was very suttle.. Someone would just make a joke or smth” #mars500tweetup

mgilbir Really subtle and natural ways for conflict resolution inside the module during the #mars500 says @diegou #mars500tweetup

TigerGirl528 @astrojenny 😉 MT @mgilbir: Had 2 kinds of wine. Hot & cold wine in powder. We didn’t have much; just for special events #mars500tweetup

spacetweetup RT @akanel: .@diegou “conflict resolution during the mission was very subtle.. Someone would just make a joke or smth” #mars500tweetup

akanel .@Romain_CHARLES “during the mars landing there was more room for us in the module ;)” #mars500tweetup

bethbeck I see so many #SpaceTweetup tweeps in #mars500tweetup pics. Let’s plan an #OffPlanetTweetup once we build our SpaceTweepCraft. 😉

SpaceKate Conflict resolution was quite subtle, used jokes or talking to get through problems says @diegou (cc @datachick@ #mars500tweetup

spacetweetup RT @bethbeck: I see so many #SpaceTweetup tweeps in #mars500tweetup pics. Let’s plan #OffPlanetTweetup once we build our SpaceTweepCraft. 😉

JustBe74 I wonder how that cold and hot wine in powder form tasted. #mars500tweetup

SpaceKate Did you miss your colleagues when they were on Mars? “We could call them every 4 hours – so we did!” says @romain_charles #mars500tweetup

marcozambi With 3 colleagues on the landing module of #mars500 the remaining 3 burned all copies of that Nirvana record, I think 😛 #mars500tweetup

raulcafini Food, wine.. It’s almost launch time! Please stop! 🙂 #Mars500tweetup

SpaceKate The crew who weren’t part of the landing party were very supportive, no jealousy says @diegou #mars500tweetup

martincco Nice idea RT @bethbeck: so many #SpaceTweetup‘s in #mars500tweetup pics. Let’s plan an #OffPlanetTweetup once we build our SpaceTweepCraft

mgilbir Despite being the whole time confined in the modules, their eyesight was not affected #mars500tweetup

Luke2375 What about adding a female to the crew? @Romain_CHARLES smiled 😀 #Mars500tweetup

JMORTEGA93@raulcafini: Food, wine.. It’s almost launch time! Please stop! 🙂 #Mars500tweetup” hahahah

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup abbiamo concluso la missione con successo, se ci fossero state donne nell’equipaggio avrebbero dovuto svolgere (continua)

yolobia RT @SpaceKate Inside the module I had dreams about being outside the module but not the other way round says @romain_charles #mars500tweetup

mgilbir A female crew member could have done everything that we did inside the module @Romain_Charles #mars500tweetup

SpaceKate A female crew member would have been able to do all the work that we did with no problem says @Romain_charles #mars500tweetup Yay #AFSC

JustBe74 YES! RT @bethbeck: I see so many #SpaceTweetup tweeps in #mars500tweetup Let’s plan an #OffPlanetTweetup once we build our SpaceTweepCraft!

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup (cont) le stesse mansioni, mettere lo stesso impegno.

nathanpwong A: Nothing to compare it to, but mission was successful. #Mars500Tweetup

akanel @elarastar Uri Gagarin!! #mars500tweetup

SpaceKate After being in the module, Romain says he understands his body and mood swings much better. #mars500tweetup

spacetweetup .@romain_charles I understand much better my body and mood swings and I understand better the causes of that #mars500tweetup

mgilbir I didn’t find anything new about myself, but I understand what I knew much better (eg. my mood swings) says @Romain_Charles #mars500tweetup

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup – siete stati nel modulo per parecchio tempo, avete scoperto qualcosa in più di voi stessi e la cosa vi ha spaventati?

raulcafini I write wrong: i means lunch not launch but maybe is not so wrong on a #SpaceTweetup #Mars500tweetup

spacetweetup .@diegou got to know myself better. became obvious how much I need to communicate. #mars500tweetup

SpaceKate I have a question – when are we going to have #spacetweetup sleepover in the #Mars500 module? #mars500tweetup @diegou @romain_charles

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup @Romain_CHARLES ‘ho capito meglio il mio corpo ed i miei umori e le cause’

marcozambi Female crewmember onboard #mars500? @diegou and @Charles_ROMAIN replied with smiles. #mars500tweetup

mgilbir I learnt more about how my body reacts physically (eg. what works best for you body) @diegou#mars500tweetup

starlingLX Q: Did u find out sth new about yourself on the trip? A:Nothing new, but we got to know ourselves a lot better. #Mars500Tweetup

ESA_Italia #mars500tweetup @diegou ‘ho imparato a conoscermi meglio ed era ovvio che avevo bisogno di comunicare’

SpaceKate “I believe that you had a big part in this mission” says @diegou about the tweeters 🙂 #mars500tweetup
