Canadian Astronaut tweets from space: what a space oddity

this clip has only been seen by 12 million people, and i wasn’t one of them until now, but i love it.  i wish i was there, up there, if not then under the sea… canadian astronaut, chris hadfield, was up there and he has been tweeting everything from how to make a sandwich in space to pictures of earth from strait of dover to london-town. this is his farewell piece on his way back to earth, a cover of bowie’s space oddity in zero g. i wonder what i would have done if i was up there… probably a version of planet claire with pp! by dd
