Cmdr. Chris Hadfield's last task as commander of the International Station before leaving for Earth - make this video.

He landed only a few hours ago.

Chris Hadfield is the hoopiest astronaut ever. He totally knows where his towel is. And his guitar.

I love this

I consider it a glimpse of the old NASA

Just throwing in my few cents with a hearty thumbs up. It gets to me, that performance.

It took me a while before I was able to get past the fact that he changed the lyrics (I'm very, very partial to the original) but it eventually got to me.
