Take your protein pills and put your helmet on..

I'd like to introduce a social media stream that has been significantly impactful to me! The following link is the YouTube channel for Canadian Astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield. He was the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm, walk in space, and command the International Space Station. He has also been known to strum a tune!

Col. Hadfield's impact on the world is massive! People have lived and worked on the ISS continuously since 2000, and visiting low-Earth orbit isn't nearly as glamorous as walking on the moon, but Hadfield captivated millions around the world during his stay by introducing space in a whole new way, through social media. How does an astronaut sleep in space? How do you brush your teeth in space? He also conducted live Q&A sessions with grade-school children and covered David Bowie's Space Oddity. The video clip I've provided is an interview from January 2013 regarding Hadfield's social media following. At the time of his launch he had around 20, 000 Twitter followers...today he has 1.3 million.

Today he is still an impactful author and motivational speaker...and still very active on social media. #personalrocketscientist
