Rad NASA dude draws masses again with live Web chat from outer space

2/18/2013

Space sex and aliens must be big crowd-pleasers because Chris Hadfield — AKA coolest astronaut ever — drew another huge mass Sunday for his second live web chat from outer space. The hip NASA celebrity candidly answered questions from the International Space Station, this time tackling things like the smell of outer space ("airlock smells like ozone, or gunpowder"), how astronauts shave without breathing in floating bits of hair ("just wipe it on a cloth every time") and his favorite space food ("lemon curd cake," duh.) The rad space dude also confirmed, in case you were wondering, that yes, he indeed rocks out to Bowie's "Space Oddity" while in orbit. He changed the words a bit, he added, however, so that "Major Tom has a happier ending." [Source]
