A Space Oddity

[sally_maria]

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this elsewhere - filmed on the International Space Station, Colonel Chris Hadfield singing David Bowie's song.

To me he's been a credit and an inspiration, making living in space real to the social media generation, and I wish him all the best in his return to Earth. (How long before someone starts a campaign to get him a knighthood? I know I'd support it. :-D)

Canada doesn't do knighthoods, since 1917 or so. The last time the UK tried to knight a dual citizen (under Tony Blair) it caused a diplomatic spat. Chris Hadfield is already a member of the Order of Ontario; the next logical step would be for him to be appointed to the Order of Canada or perhaps the Order of Merit.
