The Barenaked Ladies, a children's choir, and the commander of the International Space Station. Put them together and what do you get? The first space-to-earth musical collaboration.

The song, "I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing) was commissioned by CBCMusic.ca and The Coalition for Music Education with the Canadian Space Agency to celebrate music education in schools across Canada.

1. OK. That's fucking awesome...

Chris Hadfield might the coolest astronaut ever.

Follow him on twitter, btw. https://twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield

He regularly posts pictures from orbit, and his conversations with George Takei and William Shatner have been hilarious.

And he's from Milton, which is about 15 minutes away from where I live.
