Chris Hadfield, retired Canadian astronaut, lands CBC gig

Canada's most famous astronaut has a new gig.

CBC says Chris Hadfield will be a recurring contributor on its nightly news show The National and on CBC Radio One, starting Monday.

It says the retired spaceman will "bring his insights on pressing issues using his unique perspective from an inspired and exciting career and life."

Hadfield went viral online last year while tweeting from his post on the International Space Station.

He was the first Canadian to command the ISS, the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm in orbit, and the first Canadian to walk in space.

He recently released a memoir titled An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth.

So do I. For his detractors, not so much.

 

[Goober]

Myself I enjoy most of the Members here- whether I agree or disagree- It is if they make a good post, back their position, can discuss it without going off the deep end.
Not the never ending BS I got from Knucklehead. Not worth the time.

 

[petros]

I look forward to Hadfield's down to earth perspectives.

Hadfield is a good fit. He has that everyman/woman touch.

 

[eh1eh]

Really eh!
What an insult to Hadfield's intelligence.
As far as being a career civil servant. Money well spent.

Good for him! My grandkids will be happy to see him. Me, too.
