Wowsers, the song has over 6 million hits on YT already!

What an amazing man he is! Let alone him being the first CDN Commander there, he's the first to do a music video in space!

I know that his use of social media has really helped inspire many to know more about the space program, and to be interested in science in general.

"Spaceflight finale: To some this may look like a sunset. But it's a new dawn," Hadfield wrote

Now, he's got months of rehab to readjust; hoping all goes well.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield announced Monday he will retire from the Canadian Space Agency next month.

“I’m making good on a promise to my wife I made 30 years ago that yes, eventually we would live back in Canada,” Hadfield said. “I’m looking forward to the next phase in life.”

The resignation means that Hadfield will finally return to Canadian soil. The astronaut has been living in Houston, Texas since his days as a fighter pilot in the 1980s.
