Space oddity

There was a lyric in the song "Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles" that got me to thinking:

It takes an over the road truck driver approximately 10 years to travel one million miles.

If my math is right, Chris Hadfield does it in about 55.5 hours.

I've been singing this song nonstop for the past few days ever since I first heard Chris sing it. He was a fantastic commander on the space station;the man has a great sense of humour--have you seen his oxygen mask video?

It's such a powerful song too, and filming it on the space station was a wonderful touch.

I'm glad he got back down to Earth safely, and he'll be back here in Canada soon, I'm sure.
