Media Platforms Design TeamAmerican astronaut Reid Wiseman, along with Russian Maxim Suraev and German Alexander Gerst, landed safely back on Earth last week to conclude his first spaceflight, a 165-day mission to the International Space Station that included two spacewalks and a whole lot of fun. Fortunately for us, Wiseman is an avid social media user, having shared every step of his incredible journey with his 361,000 Twitter followers through photos, 3D videos of submerged GoPros and mind-bending six-second Vines. Here are some of our favorites from his final month in space:https://vine.co/v/Oeuz233ODAm/embed/simpleCloseup of the first commercial spacecraft to rendezvous with the ISS?
