Space shuttle Atlantis rocketed into orbit Monday with six astronauts and a full load of spare parts for the International Space Station.

Atlantis shot into a partly cloudy afternoon sky, to the delight of about 100 Twittering space enthusiasts who won front-row seats. It was NASA\'s first launch tweetup, and the invitees splashed news — mostly tweeting wow and amazing about the liftoff — over countless cell phones and computers.
