I'm so glad Bowie was alive to see what Chris did with his song

[@2410jrod]

Oh you know Bowie was smiling with absolute pride!! Your song about space travel and doing a video on the international space station. How can you not be psyched about that?

[@badouplus1304]

And I am happy Bowie fought for the video to remain online forever

[@cohennixon4810]

instablaster...

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

That moustache has such an air of authority and nobility about it.

[@KnallenN]

last man with a moustache that famous really changed the world

[@tony-tonie_tone3052]

He makes me proud to be canadian

[@mudza92]

There are creepy moustaches, then there's this gentlemen that somehow as you said commands respect and authority with it, and boy does he pull it of. Very manly might I say

[@loyisbinnell2399]

He’s clearly in charge as he has the most commanding moustache

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

so much of his authority is derived from the power of his mustache

[@bcaye]

Hadfield is such a charming and personable guy-he communicated so well, was so straightforward and human.

[@mlliarm]

I love it that he's a so much...down to earth person. Of course now that he's retired it's unavoidable, but I have the feeling that he was as cool as now when he was an active astronaut too.

[@GTB7979]

He was! watch some of his iss videos

[@serioushex3893]

The song is called space oddity, not "Ground control to major tom"

[@CommentBlewUp]

Diamond sword to major steve

[@mclineohio]

Thank you Actual Lee, I was so lost.

[@MinMinn192]

You can see it in Chris' face, just before they cut away, that he too wants to fly the interviewer into the Sun.

[@tttaaa8122]

4 years later... And it’s still frustrating...

[@TheGuyCalledX]

Also she said Hadwell instead of Hadfield at the end

[@ThePhilNews]

This dude really did the biggest flex in human history. I truly admire Chris Hadfield.

[@kayceeBurtonFreak]

She made every David Bowie fan cry within 5 seconds of reference to his song. xD

[@luckyirvin]

Astronaut Chris Hadfield makes me very enthusiastic about humanity

[@invaderdag711]

very humble guy, and well spoken.

[@parsnipmcgee329]

What a well spoken, cool guy.

[@haydenchan3530]

Am I the only one who got really triggered when the lady said the song name wrong?

[@Sizzlik]

Im with you..i think Chris cringed inside too

[@skibbitybibbitydibbity]

I had to stop myself from punching the computer screen. The only reason my monitor still works is that it switched to a picture of Commander Hadfield, and there is no way that I could punch somebody as awesome as that.

[@hobbygamer6220]

Hayden Chan she didnt get the title wrong per se, she just quoted it

[@xooperz]

come on, calm down you clowns

[@rhinogamer1076]

I feel every news host gets names wrong because it has happened so many times

[@snazzysportstacker]

I get there's an airtime issue, but don't rush the man. He's been to fucking space, just let the man talk.

[@WildChildFromHell]

What a lovely guy. So humble and enthusiastic.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

She doesn't know he did other music activities, including other songs with kids on earth, which was what he was ACTUALLY talking about, she doesn't know the name of 'Space Oddity', what preparation did she do for this interview...?

[@monkeyfeed908]

Haha i was totally thinking the same thing... I was like 'thats not the song he was talking about... also thats not even the name of the song you are mentioning!' Edit: btw I think the song he was refering to was I.S.S. but I could be wrong, i dont exactly remember the name.

[@BrunoDiCo]

Dude I just lol

[@imarchello]

Relax bro, she's only human. Clearly, Chris had no issue with her, so the same should go for you as well.

[@natmanprime4295]

She wore a short dress and high heels to make sure she prick teased the FK out of you...I hope you weren't thinking SEXUAL thoughts! 😳🤫

[@TheGuyCalledX]

​@@imarchellohe's being polite but you can see it in his face

[@shakespeare6291]

"Hard work?" "Ooh, no. I know what hard word is, and this is not it." Haha what a burn!

[@JoshSmith-um6ik]

The best part was how she didn’t know how to respond after he said that

[@nikitadubrovskyi4050]

Josh Smith ya it was a subtle roast of her job

[@mikoraud]

I took it as a commentary on our modern society in general, not her in particular. The coolest guy ever.

[@salvie777]

@@mikoraud yeah i don’t think a super cool dude like him was sarcastically tryna shut HER/her job down or anything

[@ribby9069]

It’s not really a burn… he’s there doing a very different role to her. He’s there to be interviewed she’s there to be the interviewer. Presumably after this he’s off to do something else, maybe even put his feet up, while she probs carries on working

[@jab___]

Wow Ground control to major tom is such a nice song

[@clownkingk5010]

Gabriel Juarez ....

[@susannahbennett1038]

Gabriel Juarez the song is Space Oddity by David Bowie

[@sirspastic3336]

Everybody's Crazy it was a joke

[@anomalocaristheabnormalshr3248]

4:09 My god, this comment is gold.

[@skibbitybibbitydibbity]

Did she just call it "ground control to major tom"???!!!!

[@panda4247]

well, that's how I searched for the song as well :D but yeah, the name is different

[@rishilandra]

@@panda4247 same

[@luapg15]

that's the educated media for ya

[@crlguitar1]

Wow....Talk about a 'role model' .....So impressed with this man...Class all the way!

[@jesi2290]

In the words of illidan "She was not prepared!"

[@sprsae9003]

This guy must be the coolest guy alive!

[@nakkadu]

[@azharaltaf4952]

He is such a great guy... bless him

[@pattibrown1887]

Wonderful interview.

[@chamberpot969]

What a marvellous man.

[@roycecx3335]

[@mrboyban]

A truly gentleman!

[@soijustlistenedto...]

4:08 I chuckled when she called Space Oddity ground control to major tom 😂

[@anthonymurray3550]

Now thats how you do an interview!

[@jackjroussel]

an artist ,,yes...everything is beautiful in his eyes ..

[@mauriz70]

Che persona eccezionale Chris Hadfield! Fiero di essere nato sul suo stesso pianeta. What a special person Chris Hadfield! Proud to be born on the same planet.

[@detectivehowardb7]

good. I enjoyed that. Thank you.

[@beatricebuinoi5771]

Bowie était un gentleman éminemment bienveillant. Je le pleurerai toujours. Un génie. 😢

[@aldrindevassykdevassy9897]

Thank you

[@vanbrazil2009]

beautiful interview!

[@firefury6090]

oh god i wish my shoulder would never get sore sleeping

[@dobrze1673]

This is diamond sword to major steve

[@Avengers24-sw7cv]

I don't know which is cooler, being the commander of the I.S.S., recording a great version of Space Oddity or having David Bowie's email address.

[@kerrijohnstone7588]

I want a space bed!!! 😮

[@rtbarnes4893]

Now THIS is a man...

Should be representing NASA official like good 😊 man

[@hateislove3947]

Fun to see that he is not so bloated like in ISS :D He looked very damn puffer fish in space.

[@Captaincraftsurvivalgaming]

The look on his face when she said commander Chris had field he nearly creamed his knicks he’s worked hard for it so you got to salute the guy!

[@Bearrrrrrrrr]

the shining glares are like the new star trek

[@iancourt3274]

Am I the only one who thinks Chris Hadfield could also be Walter White off Breaking Bad!!!🤣 I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!!!

[@dir_ctor6612]

[@hiddenpunksoul2488]

I've spent years begging my sons to don't swallow toothpaste!

[@luporis2375]

Swallowing toothpaste is not considered a risk when you are travelling around earth in 7 km/s.

[@jantelopez5626]

channel 5 - where brain cells and knowing why anyone does anything dies

[@susiebunnybeeskers4136]

Wow Chris use to live in London.

[@kirsten1509]

o0f ground control to major tom...

[@kellykizer6718]

Major Tom is 33 in Pythagorean numerology.

[@luisbarbosa7548]

Who tf even hits with dislikes.. Lol.

[@jujucasar2003]

Ppl that look like this guy need to be in those sci fi faster than light futuristic spacecraft tv shows. Not a buncha attractive late 20s early 30 yr olds who barely know wtf they r talking about.

[@paulinarodriguez472]

soulja boy

[@maliboosmiley7481]

Tootpaste wont kill ya huh? On the back it says consult poison control in swallowed

[@joldsaway3489]

They have fluoride-free toothpaste...

[@D1pl0macyMan1fest]

0.5 to 1.0 mg is the safest amount, in a pea sized amount of toothpaste there is 0.25mg of fluoride. He would have to swallow 4 peas of toothpaste to even reach the limit.

[@ralfxx3]

Did he manage to open the window for fresh wind, when he went to sleep in the ISS? 😉

[@7duohua]

Omg the interviewer is so annoying!!! Kept interrupting him all the time, let the man speak FFS!!!

[@ohauss]

They are on a schedule. It's unfortunate but necessary when you have a maximum time for the whole thing and want to touch on several issues.

[@ny8956]

God she's got some legs on her.

[@geetee2694]

And a mouth.

[@Epicinfiniti]

Who else sometimes eat toothpaste? 😅

[@murklamurkla709]

Not the song he was talking about, and you got the name wrong.. at the same time.. seriously.

There are people who use government tools in the wrong way, but the big ranks can't do anything. Makes me hear scolding voices in my head all the time. incitement to do things, I have been for more than 10 years, Sri Tanya, I have passed but it must be patient Pisayabut Prisana

[@FaceJabber]

he never left earth

[@thechosenbossk4352]

Ian Kirwan 😑

[@EchoesDaBear]

He would vehemently disagree with you...but you keep believing what you wish. Ignoring or disbelieving the science doesn't make it any less true.
