Well, I don’t know how but over last several months Canadian Chris Hadfield has become #1 Canadian in our household - kids were really impressed with his recent Skype-like conference call with the students in his old school.

His Twitter account - [https://twitter.com/cmdr\_hadfield](https://twitter.com/cmdr_hadfield) - is the only one worth following as pictures are out of this world.

But the real reason for this MPSIMS is that Mr. Hadfield is now a Commander of ISS and I just wanted to congratulate him. It is a great achievement among many.

Yeah, but now there are sticky maple syrup fingerprints on the ISS steering wheel.

The important thing is - it is steered in right direction 😉

He recently [sang a collaboration with Barenaked Ladies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvAnfi8WpVE) while in the ISS. The song’s pretty good too.
