The Triumph of Commander Hadfield Is A Triumph For Science Communication

Yesterday, former International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield fell from space like a meteor and gently touched down on his home planet after five months in a state of constant free fall. He was greeted with a recliner and a blanket, ready to cradle his thinner bones and atrophied muscles. Maybe, as he was comforted and challenged by gravity once again, his eyes turned back longing to the sky. I hope he knows that we did the same when he turned a camera lens into the eyes of the world.
