Rock Star Astronaut Chris Hadfield Performs 'Moondance' from Space
It's not the first time the Canadian astronaut has performed from spaceCanadian astronaut Chris Hadfield made history last month when he performed an original song, "I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing?)," from the International Space Station with the Barenaked Ladies.
Since then, he's been holding court – from space – with the likes of Peter Gabriel. He's been tweeting up a storm, sharing incredible photos of Earth, and more than a few poetic musings, with his half a million Twitter followers.
And now, with the Chieftains, he's just performed yet another song, "Moondance." His stage? As before, it's the International Space Station's cupola, with its windows looking out at Earth and the blackness of space – surely the most incredible concert venue ever.
As Hadfield says in the video, "I've had a chance to play a lot of different places, but to be able to play music in a place like this beats all. It's phenomenal."
