Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano on
Tuesday made his first tweet from his post as International
Space Station commander, saying "what an incredible voyage".
"The Soyuz is really an extraordinary vehicle," he went on,
saying it had "impeccable performance".
Parmitano also described the first panorama seen in orbit,
saying "the best possible: breath-taking night clouds, ethereal
and almost unreal".
The European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut was commenting on
the tweet with which NASA showed his launch, with American
Andrew Morgan and Russian Alexander Skvortsov, on July 20.
