An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth

Chris Hadfield offers extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality.  Hadfield was selected by the Canadian Space Agency to be an astronaut in 1992 and was CAPCOM for 25 Shuttle launches. He most recently served as Commander of the International Space Station where, while conducting a record-setting number of scientific experiments and overseeing an emergency spacewalk, he gained worldwide acclaim for his breathtaking photographs and educational videos about life in space. His music video, a zero-gravity version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” received over 10 million views in its first three days online.
