What’s surprised you the most since arriving on the International Space Station? And what’s something you never could have trained for? These are the two questions we put to astronaut Chris Hadfield, who has been living aboard the Space Station since December, and as of March 13, will become its first-ever Canadian commander. Hadfield, who has been inspiring many as he documents his adventures orbiting Earth via Twitter and other social media, gave us some insight into life in space in these exclusive videos.
