Video: Commander Chris Hadfield bows out with this brilliant version of Space Oddity

We’re really going to miss him up there but the world’s most famous astronaut left us with one last fantastic bit of space brilliance.

Not just a photographic genius, Canadian ISS astronaut Chris Hadfield is also a bit of a musical maestro too. He has sung with the Chieftans from his space station already during his time in orbit and before he hung up his space helmet yesterday he produced this for us, a fantastic version of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. Of course.

A fantastic song, brilliantly sung, with a stunning video. Just class. We’ve said it many time before but we salute you Commander Hadfield.
