Who is Chris Hadfield?

Chris Hadfield is a space explorer who went to live on the International Space Station, like staying at a super cool hotel way up in space.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car, and suddenly it zooms off into the sky. That’s kind of what happened when Chris went to space, he was like a superhero astronaut, driving his spaceship all the way to the space station, which is like a big floating hotel in the sky.

Chris used a special rocket, which works like a super fast elevator that goes up, up, up into space. When he got there, he floated around like you float when you're in a swimming pool, that's what it feels like to be in zero gravity!

While he was staying at his floating hotel, Chris did experiments and even sang songs on video, one of them became super popular! It’s like being both a scientist and a singer, all in space.
