Hadfield, is scheduled to return to earth this evening with U.S.
astronaut Tom Marshburn and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko.

and other media. But he obviously saved the best for last.

down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink." -Official
Armstrong family statement.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. -B.F. Skinner
