But physically adapting doesn't mean his mind has entirely adjusted to this whole microgravity-thing. But with Wiseman, even fail-moments are adorable:

Although only a few days later, he had a handle on the whole, "Wait a minute, microgravity makes the implausible possible!"super-Hulk moment:

The moon is awfully hard to spot in this next photo, but finding an unimpressed face in the station is downright easy. Is someone playing Vandal Eyes in space? That's just impressive!

Life aboard the station is busy, with every astronaut playing different roles as the day wears on. On Wednesday, Wiseman gave us a peek at a typical day of working as a scientist, repairman, and photographer at different times:

Of course Reid isn't in orbit all by his lonesome. Geophysicist Alex Gerst is also having fun, tweeting as @Astro_Alex. Like Wiseman last week, he, too, appreciates that from the space station, it's easy to see the Earth is round.

He's also getting the hang of artistic shots, like this one of his home for the next half a year:

If you want to play along with Reid at home, try to spot the space station going overhead at night. They're mapping your responses.

I'm trying to limit the astronaut-tweet-spamming to once per week, but it feels like the share-worthy tweets never end. What's your vote? We've got six months of Wiseman-in-orbit; are you going to get sick of his delight?
