An extremely popular Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield, has recently uploaded a new video from the International Space Station that can be interpreted as an amalgam of three sentiments; mainly love, thank-you note, and farewell. Hadfield is expected to soon get on the return trip home from space on Monday night, as a scheduled return will commence aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket at 10:30 p.m. ET tonight. Hadfield will be returning after successfully completing a five-month stay aboard the ISS.
The 53-year-old astronaut has been serving as the commander of the space station for the past three months, and being the first Canadian to ever do so. He has officially passed on the command to a Russian colleague on Sunday. In the video, Hadfield says that “who would of thought that five months away from the planet would make you feel closer to people.” The almost two minutes video shows him saying that “and not closer because I miss them, but just closer because seeing them this way and being able to share it with them has allowed me to get a direct reflection back — immediate, from so many people — that it makes me feel like I’m actually there with people; that we’re having a conversation; that this experience is not individual but that it’s shared and it’s mutual and it’s worldwide.”
Hadfield has been extremely active in using social media to share his experiences in space and interact with Canadians throughout his trip, whether posting videos, images or taking part in question-and-answer sessions with school groups.
