There’s a New Astronaut in Space, and He’s Killin’ it on Twitter
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman is on his first space mission, and he’s tweeting all about it. Since arriving at the International Space Station on Thursday, he has shared about 40 tweets, and you can feel his enthusiasm. Follow Commander Reid’s journey from training to pre-launch quarantine, through lift off and his time on the ISS through his Twitter handle @astro_reid. For those of us who will probably never make it into Space, this is the next best thing:
