Space Oddity - Chris Hadfield

[Duncan Edwards]

Canadian Astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield is returning to earth tonight from his stint as commander of the International Space Station. He's a pretty talented guy and performs in the astronaut folk band Bandella. Here he covers David Bowie in the first music video shot in space. It's garnered over a million hits in about 18 hours. Go fly a kite Justin Beiber.

He's a remarkable fellow, all told. Set up a twitter account and kept it brimming with photos he shot from space, and a stream of comments of life on the space station. All during his brief bits of spare time up there. Even chatted with school kids in Canada via live feeds and such.
