Reid Wiseman’s Twitter account continues to transport us, but the man himself is back on solid ground after completing his mission at the International Space Station.
The Baltimore astronaut and Euro space counterpart, Alexander Gurst, landed in Kazakhstan around 11 p.m. ET Sunday night. After offering up so many gorgeous views, the final re-entry was a bit austere:

NASA noted that the freezing conditions in Kazakhstan were likely a rude awakening for the space buds, who got used to temperatures in the mid-70s. Luckily, there was lots of bedding on-hand.

We salute Wiseman for captivating us with gorgeous views of spacewalks, Earth and all the #Interstellar material in between from the International Space Station via his Twitter account. Before he landed, the Cockeysville native had one last stunning social media view. This one was so good that he decided to make it a Vine:
I have looked on in awe at our planet for 166 days. #Sunset final #Exp41 #SpaceVine #Timelapse https://t.co/1pSkdmA6hB
