Reid, along with two other crew members, Alex Gerst and Steve Swanson, have caught the World Cup fever and even showed off their soccer skills from space.

Reid followed through with a fun bet he made with German crew member Gerst — that if Team USA lost last week, he would shave his head.

"I think I am going to keep it this way," he told Carson.

Since we've all enjoyed seeing Reid's remarkable photos from space, TODAY fans returned the favor by sharing their own pictures from #HereOnEarth.
