      Bill Houston How did this get so unnecessarily heated? I seriously doubt he meant anything hostile towards anyone with his comment. So what if he 's proud to be an American? He should be, just as the canadians should be proud to be canadians. Further more don't attack someone for their innocent youtube comment simply cause you have an issue with their nation's agenda its not like he sought to shove Americanism down your throat he was just making an attempt to join in a conversation. That said i don't disagree with what you said regarding american one upism but i don't see how his comment is a relevant example of it "Forget the space race my friend, and join the human race"? Seriously aside from sounding cool (which it did so brava) what does that have to do with any topic at hand? Are americans not part of the human race? Are Canadians not part of the human race? Last i checked both were included in the human race and last i checked humans have the right to say anything they want regarding their nationality. Let the dude speak without giving him a rant on a forced and at the moment irrelevant issue.

    Eighteen thousand miles an hour
    Fueled by science and solar power
    The oceans racing past
    At half a thousand tons
    Ninety minutes Moon to Sun
    A bullet can’t go half this fast
    Floating from my seat
    Look out my window
    There goes Home (There goes home)
    That brilliant ball of blue
    Is where I’m from, and also where I’m going to
    So sing your song I’m listening out where stars are glistening
    I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon
    If you could see our Nation from the international space station
    You’d know why I want to get back soon (get back soon)
    All back and white just fades to grey
    Where the sunrises sixteen times a day
    You can’t make out borders from up here
    Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (atmosphere)
    Pushed back in the seat
    Look out my window
    Here comes home (ho-ho-home)
    What once was fueled by fear
    Now has fifteen Nation orbiting together here.
    So sing your song I’m listening out where stars are glistening
    I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon
    If you could see our Nation from the international space station
    You’d know why I want to get back soon (get back soon)
    You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)
    You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)
    You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)
    You’d know why I want to get back soon

    Wow, this was my Grade 5 Music Monday song. It was such an awesome song... I still love it 9 years later.
    I still remember, at the age, I really wanted to be a grown up and be 20 more than anything else. Now I'm 20, in my second year of Aerospace Engineering in university, and want to go back to being 11 more than ever. I miss the simplicity, ease, and fun of those times, and especially memories like watching videos from Chris in class and Music Mondays.
    I know that when I'm 30 I'm probably going to look back at myself right now and be saying something similar. It really pays to live each moment to its fullest and connect with those around you.

    I saw Chris tonight in St John's and wanted to say that his talk tonight was amazing. The big thing I wanted to say specific to this was that He played the first part of this song and people (including myself) were singing along with him. He (Ed also) have touched so many people in Canada you are a national hero, It seems like another world wide solidarity song...especially after his talk about seeing borders disappear..(new verse).. You guys did something amazing and when I saw Chris with tears tonight after and then giving his guitar pick to the girl in the front row a couple next to me broke down.....Chris is an amazing ambassador and Ed you are too. Keep fighting the long goal about maintaining out planet for our future generations.

I still remember some of the lyrics.. There was this kid he asked to play his guitar..
    i still can't believe it. I'm still jealous of that kid after these years. when i was in grade 4/5 my teacher started letting us read his books and listening to his music. that was when i knew, he was this famous.

And if your god is willing to send you to the fiery pits of hell for writing a song he or she must be uncaring and intolerant and not in anyway forgiving. And you pray to this god which kinda makes you just as bad. So I think without proof of where you go when you die you are merely guessing and making it up.

    Just read your book ('An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth') and now know the story behind the music and the clip. Thank you for being such a great inspiration for us Earthlings, Col. Hadfield. All the best in retirement!

      You should read Chris Hadfield's "You Are Here" which consists entirely of brilliant pictures he took from space. I wonder about the mindset of those who suggest that Chris -after a distinguished and highly successful career as an engineering test pilot should be the remotest bit interested in being involved in a shameless video fraud. The notion is totally absurd. As a matter of interest, Chris and his brother Dave (whom I have met) are much involved in music making.
      If anyone wonders about the technique in combining the sound tracks, Why not contact Ed Robertson himself who incidentally is a pilot too and owns his own aircraft. Seems much more productive than the mutual and mindless trading of insults emanating from people who don't know -or who don't want to know!

      Or that they’re lying about the 11 second delay it takes for a signal to get from space and back....

      David Captain Who ever said that, basic logic will point out, that the distance between the Earth and the ISS is less than the distance between San Francisco And Los Angeles.
