## Bio

Chris Hadfield watched Apollo 11 land on television as a child in 1959 and built his life toward orbit: glider licence through the Air Cadets, engineering degree at Royal Military College, 25 years as a Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot and test pilot. In 1992 the Canadian Space Agency accepted him into the astronaut program. He flew to Mir in 1995, returned to the ISS in 2001 to help install Canadarm2 during a spacewalk - the first Canadian to walk in space - and launched a third time in December 2012 aboard Soyuz TMA-07M. When Expedition 34 ended in March 2013, he became ISS commander, overseeing five astronauts and dozens of experiments on low-gravity biology. He chronicled the mission through photographs and appearances on news shows, his guitar performances in the station's modules turning him into an unlikely ambassador for life 400 kilometers up. He retired in May 2013 after 35 years, then wrote a New York Times bestseller about what he learned.
