Houston, we have a social networking problem.
NASA's digital gurus got a nasty, but brief, surprise Friday when a hacker broke into the agency's astronaut Twitter feed to peddle flat screen televisions.

The Internet incursion occurred on the @NASA_Astronauts feed, which redistributes official NASA Twitter posts from the space agency's web savvy astronauts who post messages about their missions from Earth and space.

"It appears our @NASA_Astronauts account may have been hacked," NASA spokesperson Stephanie Schierholz told SPACE.com. "Five sales tweets were sent from the account."

1. Yeah, right.
The 'nauts are trying to make a buck on the side,
hustling flat screens from space.
