Astronaut Chris Hadfield blasts off to become first Canadian commander of International Space Station
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — Chris Hadfield has successfully blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a mission that is to see him become the first Canadian to command the International Space Station.
Hadfield is travelling to the space station on board a Russian Soyuz capsule for a five-month visit to the giant orbiting space lab.
He is sharing the trip to the space station with NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko.
A day to go down in history where a Canadian has once again bettered themselves to do work all can be proud of.
