Astronaut Chris Hadfield was the first Canadian to walk in space.
But he hasn’t rested on his laurels since retiring from those “astronomical” heights — including flying two space shuttle missions and serving as commander of the International Space Station. Many fans remember him from the viral YouTube video of him performing David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” which has garnered more than 35 million views. But since retirement in 2013, Hadfield has proven to be a man of many talents with occupations ranging from musician (he released an album of songs he recorded on the space station), author (a New York Times bestselling book), professor (University of Waterloo) and television personality. His latest venture is Miniverse, a documentary on the solar system that airs in Canada on the online video service CuriosityStream on Monday. The Star talked to Hadfield about the series. The Miniverse concept seems to be right out of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. They were three very different people. Chris Hadfield's Cottage Life.
For space traveller Chris Hadfield, a little slice of Ontario cottage country is the ultimate destination.
By Jay Teitel from Cottage Life From Reader's Digest Magazine, June 2015 Photo: Daniel Ehrenworth On the night of July 20, 1969, a nine-year-old boy named Chris Hadfield walked out of his parents’ cottage on Stag Island, in the St. Clair River just south of Sarnia, Ont., and crossed a clearing to their neighbour’s, one of the few homes on the island that boasted a television set. Inside, he joined a throng of cottagers and watched American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin step onto the moon.

How To Be Successful At Life, According To Chris Hadfield. Things alway go wrong in life, says astronaut Chris Hadfield, and you better be prepared for it.
In fact, he says, in order to find success unless you must first envision failure. Because if you know how to solve the problems before they present themselves, you will find success. Few people understand that point better than Hadfield. The now-retired astronaut's is best known as the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station but before that, Hadfield served as a fighter pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The butt of immature jokes. Farts are an interesting quirk of nature when you think about it. (Admit it: You have thought deeply about farts at some point in your life). After all, we’re essentially talking about a putrid gas that escapes from your butthole on command. It sounds so sci-fi! Flatulence is combustible—as we all know thanks to those YouTube videos of people lighting their farts on fire. Considering farts are literally explosive: Is it possible to propel yourself through space by farting? While this question may seem ridiculous, it’s actually something that scientists thought about. Okay, so we know that flatulence can’t exactly accelerate a human at great speeds, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t theoretically harness the power of farts for propulsion.
Farts are basically rocket fuel, but you’d need a fuck-ton of it (more than the most ravenous Taco Bell eater is able to produce in a lifetime) to propel yourself through space by farting.
