A commander's perspective from the edge of the atmosphere
In short: Watch Commander Chris Hadfield bridge the gap between the International Space Station and a classroom in Alberta. This footage captures a rare moment of direct dialogue between a pioneer of space exploration and the next generation of scientists.
During an in-flight event on April 9, Expedition 35 Commander Chris Hadfield spoke with students participating in a science competition in Edmonton, Alberta. As the first Canadian to command the International Space Station, Hadfield provided a firsthand account of the progress of his mission on the orbital laboratory.
The interaction highlights the ongoing connection between orbital research and terrestrial education. Hadfield was scheduled to conclude a five-month flight aboard the outpost in mid-May.
