WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- NASA astronaut Jeff Williams, who is in training to command the next International Space Station mission, is using Twitter to document his Russian training.
Williams, whose Twitter username is Astro_Jeff, is also making use of a blog and short video clips to provide a behind-the-scenes insight into his experiences at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. Once in orbit, Williams will become the first space station commander to share his experiences using Twitter, NASA said.
