From selfies to breakfast videos, Tim Peake knows how to be a dad on Twitter.

British astronaut Tim Peake is proving that even a dad in space is still a dad when it comes to social media.

As any good dad on the internet would, Peake, who is currently spending six months on the International Space Station, shared a little video of himself cooking a breakfast of rehydrated scrambled eggs in the space lab. 

The process for making the eggs seems pretty easy (you just add warm water and they fluff up), but Peake doesn't look particularly excited about eating the yellow concoction.

Peake also has some other dad-like tendencies on Twitter. 

He not only posts about his food, but he likes to post lyrics from his favorite space-themed songs asking his followers to guess the titles. 


Peake also shares photos of views he sees out his window (which is admittedly one of the best sights ever), and every now and then he posts a well-done selfie


Peake, a European Space Agency astronaut, is currently part of the way through his mission on the Space Station with an international crew of five other space explorers.
