He’s linked his facebook page and twitter feed..so you can follow him on either. He posts many times a day. There is nothing like a guy who posts consistently from… SPACE!

Astronauts should be banned from entering any photo competition unless the theme is ‘from Space’. They have an unfair advantage.
