Do they have wireless there, or how does it work? My assumption is that he probably can send them to NASA control and they forward it, but since the article claims that he tweets himself, they obviously seem to have internet access up there.

Simply amazing. Let's hope space tourism picks up quickly (and comes down in price)!

Pictures like this often remind me of Don Petit's writeup (http://blogs.airspacemag.com/pettit/2012/02/earth-photograph...) about how taking photos from space is much harder than you think it is.
