Astronaut sends wife flowers from space via the Internet

Find opportunities — and win them.

NASA Commander Jeff Williams used the Internet access aboard the International Space Station to send his wife flowers.

In the first month that astronauts aboard the International Space Station have access to the Internet, it appears they are using it much like the rest of us.

Commander Jeff Williams is on his third mission in space, and quickly embraced having Web access. He keeps in touch with his wife, Anna-Marie, by e-mail messages and recently sent her flowers via Amazon.com, according to a report on CBS.
