Was there really a film titled “2001: A Space Oddity “?! Just wondering. Enjoyed. Love Bowie and this song. Great voice and space first! Perfect choice.

Chris is a Canadian icon. I think everyone in Canada was watching that day. I really enjoyed his daily pictures.

Thank you again for starting my Saturday off with the best of who we are. Humans on this pale blue dot except for the Chris Hayfields, who are volunteering to explore one of our last frontiers. Just beautiful and overwhelming at the same time.

I just love Saturday smiles! It's such a fun way to start the day before plunging into the cold water of the news!

Thanks 😊

I listened again earlier this week. Just as powerful now as 2013. I also bought his new book The Apollo Murders yesterday. It’s going to be a great read. Thanks Dan

A ‘concert in space’… fabulous! I have followed the space program, since the late 1950s. I remember watching the round-the-clock, televised reporting during the first years. My excitement was palpable and unrelenting every time. It still is with current launches. Watching Chris Hadfield perform Bowie’s song on this Saturday Smile felt like it put me there for a few minutes. Thank you.

I love it. I found this version by William Shatner made and recorded some years before his current ride in Blue Origin Rocket 2021. https://youtu.be/3L-bTza_7-I
