André Kuipers is eager to share his many experiences, sunrises and sunsets flying at around 350 kilometres above our heads. Last summer he launched a dedicated blog in Dutch, a good way to track him during the final stages of his training on planet Earth.
Following the latest social media trends, André also started tweeting half a year ago and he will continue to do so from orbit. He adds photos to his tweets every now and then.
