GC seven years ago.

I always thought Chris Hadfield needed to get over himself a bit :)

I think it's sorta hard to be humble when you've done what he has, eh?
Like, how can you talk about it without it sounding ridiculously arrogant?
I think he is quite down-to-Earth... like, er, The astronaut's guide to flat Earth theory.
Considering.

Genuine curious
Did he do much science up there?

He's one of the military/pilot types, isn't he?

Einstein was just one of those thingy/physics types,
Maradona was just one of those kicky-ball types.
Da Vinci was just one of those arty types.

Genuine curious (sic)
What counts as doing science?
Like,,, this?

no, that's something they knew would happen already
science would be investigating what happens to jizz in zero-g. Does it clump together as a ball or ejecualate out in microdroplets across the spaceship onto the waiting face of your spacegirl? (or spaceman, I don't want to let my gender preference ruin your spacefantasy)

Well it has got me thinking
but personally I'd rather he wrote a song about space than do a cover.

Assuming the weight of that guitar, plus the case it was transported in comes to ~13lbs
According to this article, it would have cost over $351,000 to ship that guitar up to the ISS for him to play that absolute load of bollocks. Money well spent, eh?

he'd be first in the escape pod I reckon
And he'd want a seat for the guitar as well

I think that guitar was left up there for the benefit of future astronauts.
Most if not all luxury items taken to ISS are left there, I believe.
