Reid Wiseman is not the first astronaut to share images from the final frontier, but he is one of NASAs first social media stars, giving us a firsthand look of what its like to be in space with a view we havent quite experienced before.

Wiseman journeyed to the most exclusive address in the world, the International Space Station, on May 28, 2014. Since his arrival, the former aviator has been tweeting about life aboard the ISS and the ins and outs of adjusting to zero gravity to his more than 300,000 Twitter followers.

Its the most difficult but its also the most enjoyable part of being up here, Wiseman said. Your body has to learn a new way to work, to think, to eat. Its just really, really cool.

His constant stream of jaw-dropping photos, rookie mistakes and insights into life in space has attracted a global audience. He hasnt showered in more than 100 days, drinks coffee from a bag and has to exercise for hours a day just so his muscles dont decay, but his excitement and enthusiasm are still just as strong as they were the day of his launch.

Its pretty tough to be homesick when youre floating around going 18,000 miles an hour in the space station, he said. This is a wild, great place to work.

Its also a world he wants young minds across the country to get excited about, and he holds regular video chats with students to field their many questions.

What they're most curious about usually is the imaginative stuff - how do you go to the bathroom, what do you eat, what's it like to float, what's it like to look back at the earth? he said.

Wiseman returns to Earth in November, when hell have to once again adjust to gravity. Until then, space enthusiasts will savor each tweet from 200 miles away.

Meet the Astronaut Whose Tweets Show Us Space is Crazy

When a Russian Soyuz spaceship pulled up to the International Space Station last week, it had a distinctly off-kilter look due to a stuck solar wing.

While a NASA video of the Soyuz's arrival on Sept. 25 only showed the asymmetrical spacecraft from afar, this amazing photo from American astronaut Reid Wiseman gives a crystal clear view of what a one-winged Russian spaceship looks like up close.

Wiseman snapped the photo from inside the International Space Station as he watched the Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft dock itself flawlessly at the orbiting lab. The Soyuz launched three new crewmembers to the space station to join the outpost's current Expedition 41 crew. But shortly after reaching orbit, one of the Soyuz's two solar arrays failed to deploy.

"Awesome view of the Soyuz with only one array deployed," Wiseman wrote in a Twitter post last Saturday (Sept. 27). "Flown by the best!"

Russian cosmonaut Alexander Samokutyaev was in command of the Soyuz during its six-hour trip to the space station. NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore and cosmonaut Elena Serova accompanied Samokutyaev on the flight.

The Soyuz crew reported no problems at all with the flight despite the stuck solar array. On Earth, Russian flight engineers were concerned the problem could cause overheating on the spacecraft, but the crew reported that everything was fine inside the capsule throughout the flight.

Wiseman and his Expedition 41 crewmates Maxim Suarev of Russia and Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency are in the middle of a months-long voyage to the International Space Station. They are due to return to Earth in November.

Samokutyaev, Wilmore and Serova, meanwhile, are just beginning their own six-month spaceflight. They will stay aboard as the station's core Expedition 42 crew and return home in March 2015.
