On October 29 this past year, geeks worldwide (including some of us here at Studiothink) celebrated the Internet's 40th birthday. Today marked another moment in history when it was announced that NASA has finished an upgrade to the International Space Station that will allow its astronauts to connect to the internet. Yep, the World-Wide-Web is now in orbit, and the first cosmic internet communication came in the form of a Twitter post. It's only a matter of time until Colonel TJ Creamer starts getting stellar spam emails selling him Viagra, discount watches, and membership to prestigious "Who's Who" lists.

There's nearly 2 billion people using the internet and that number now includes residents of the International Space Station. We've come a long way. For a bit of perspective, we bring you a good ol' Canadian broadcast from 1993, discussing this mysterious phenomenon called simply, "Internet."
