Space Station commander tweets shout out from space to IndyCar, F1

There are cool things and then there are cool things that are out of this world.

U.S. astronaut A.J. “Drew” Feustel — commander of the current International Space Station mission Expedition 56 and obviously a huge motorsports fan — took to Twitter this morning to give a shout out from space for Sunday’s INDYCAR race at Iowa Speedway and Formula One’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Sure to be a tight race at @iowaspeedway filled with frequent passing and lead changes. We will be watching from @Space_Station. #FWB150 #IowaCorn300 #INDYCAR pic.twitter.com/YASlu4sKnv

A beautiful setting as viewed from @Space_Station for the iconic @F1 @SilverstoneUK. A cornerstone race in the heart of F1 motorsports territory. Ready for ‘Lights Out’ on Sunday! #BritishGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/DILyJVYIu3
