A Blast from the Past: Chris Hadfield plays guitar on Space Station Mir

On November 12, 1995, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield became the first and only Canadian astronaut to board the Russian Mir Station. In this clip from aboard Mir, Hadfield plays guitar with ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter. During Expedition 34/35, Hadfield will play the six-string once again, but this time on the International Space Station and with the support of Ed Robertson from the Barenaked Ladies and thousands of Canadians via videolink from Earth for CBC's Music Monday: http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/media/ne...

A life completely out of the ordinary! Almost 18 years ago. The Mir space station no longer exists but this Chris is ready for the next Space Station. Of course it has to have room for at least one guitar.
