Chris Hadfield is the astronaut who turned the void of space into his stage. A farm kid from rural Canada who climbed his way into the stratosphere, first as a fighter pilot, then as a test pilot, and eventually as commander of the International Space Station. Hadfield has lived a life that hovers somewhere between science fiction and sheer nerve. He’s flown more than seventy types of aircraft, stared down mechanical failures mid-flight, even blacked out in the cockpit and somehow lived to tell the tale.And then came the moment that made him a legend: drifting through the ISS with a guitar in hand, recording a zero-gravity cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDyl6I6ESSw&list=RDpDyl6I6ESSw&start_radio=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the first music video ever filmed in space</a>.) It was haunting, poetic, and a little bit absurd, exactly like Hadfield himself.His newest book, Final Orbit a high-tension space thriller and the third instalment in his Apollo Murders series has just launched into the world and is available everywhere.Host: Dan SchreiberGuest: Chris Hadfield Senior Producer: Ben TullohProduction Support: Cassie MerrittHead of Factual Podcasts: Al Riddel
