Historic Day For Chris Hadfield

It was 20 years ago today on November 12, 1995, that Chris Hadfield blasted off into space for the first time, launching from Cape Canaveral.

Most recently the former astronaut released the first album recorded partially in space, "Space Sessions: Songs from a Tin Can".
