This is the coolest thing I have seen in some time.

Bravo, bravO!

I really enjoyed that. So so appropriate the background is to the song.

Chris Hadfield and the rest of expedition 35 landed safely in Kazakhstan at 10:31 p.m. EDT yesterday.

And for a different take on what has been going on at the International Space Station:

Kudos to Emm Gryner (sic). They, she and Chris, have a musical history and both hail from Sarnia, Ontario. As per a Globe and Mail piece on this she has had a previous musical relationship with Bowie. She contacted him for approval of the project. I bet he was all over it. Watching the video I got a sense of how it was storyboarded/produced. Well done, considering. Got a jajaja from the "photoshopped" space station images. Looking behind the action, a great tour of the space station, and earth images. The space station, itself, is now old, but still obviously mind boggling as a human engineering, etc. achievement. Great free advertising for the Vancouver, B.C. company providing the guitar. I sure hope he gets into politics. Move over King Steve.
