Commander Chris Hadfield

Chris Hadfield has inspired a whole generation of children to explore space and space travel here in Canada, and I gather his youtube downloads from the international space station have ben watched by children all over the world, not just Canada.  Big White Community School has gone space crazy too, completing their space project this week and being avid watchers of all things Chris Hadfield...even Lucy now wants to be an astronaut.  The whole school went to Vernon to the space museum and had an amazing time eating space food and trying on space outfits.  Ned came home saying that officially, according to science, Sunday was the first day of the week.  'That's interesting' I said "because in the Bible, Sunday is the last day of the week because it's a day of rest."...'Yes, but Mummy, I'm talking about real life".   Touche!!
For those of you who haven't seen Chris Hadfield in action, I strongly recommend you watch his downloads on youtube from the Canadian Space Agency, we loved them and here are two of my favourites, both musical. The first is his final download, recreating the Bowie classic, and the second is him playing along with the Bare Naked Ladies down here on earth....amazing!
