The World

Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield will be returning to earth Tuesday after five months of commanding the International Space Station.

While he’s made headlines as the first Canadian to command the International Space Station. He has been making waves on the world wide web with his series of otherworldly images and short videos about everyday life on the space station.

His videos have covered how to do everyday earthly tasks in zero gravity from getting a haircut to how make a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

His latest viral video is the very first music video shot in space an homage to David Bowie’s classic, “Space Oddity.” Bowie, himself, tweeted his approval.

Anchor, Marco Werman spoke with his unofficial social media manager and his son, Evan Hadfield.
