he can sing too

Chris Hadfield of the ISS, perhaps best known for wringing things out IN SPACE, has handed off command and, being brilliant and talented, made a touching cover of "Space Oddity" to commemorate the occasion. If anyone out there somehow lacks a deep-seated desire to go to space themselves, I would be curious to know whether the song and video made them cry too.
