Thank you, Commander Hadfield, and good luck!

We watched a video about a song you sang, and you're going to land today. We sang one of your songs in Music - it was the ISS song. - Joey

There was a video that we watched, and Braylin and I almost cried because you're our Number 1 favourite astronaut, and we always watch your videos on YouTube. One of my favourites is the video where you were having lunch because it looked really good. I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. - Kyra

Commander Hadfield, how do you feel about getting back home, where everyone's not in space? I think you feel really happy to get back on Earth. I think you're also sad that you have to leave space, because it's a wonderful and beautiful space out there. - Alexandra

Commander Hadfield, how was your last day in space? I hope you had fun! I liked watching all of the things you were doing in space. My favourite video was the song called 'Space Oddity'. - Gal

Was it fun being able to fly around in the space station, Commander Hadfield? I tried flying down here - it hasn't worked! - Hailey M.

I would really like to go into space one day. It must be fun to be floating in mid-air, and seeing all of your stuff floating. - Dylan

You're my favourite astronaut, Chris Hadfield. My favourite video you made is 'Space Oddity'. I would really want to go into space one day. - Marie

It has been absolutely wonderful to share the exploits of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield aboard the International Space Station (ISS) with the class over the past few months. Ever since I was a young boy, I have been fascinated by space and the idea of working/travelling in space, and it has been great to share that passion with my students (and to see some of them become totally enamoured with the idea as well!). Yesterday, Cmdr. Hadfield posted a wonderful version of himself singing a version of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity', with the lyrics amended slightly to reflect his time on the ISS - you can watch it below. Also, you can watch him return live to Earth tonight, by watching the webcast, which I've also embedded below in the blog below. Good luck, Cmdr. Hadfield, and thanks for showing the world what Canadians can do - we're proud of you!
