I'm enjoying his book..which I'm trying to finish in 2 wks. because I have to wrap up this birthday gift. He would be a fabulous speaker because there were so many life lessons he learned in his training and space walks.

Frankly I didn't have a tv nor was I paying attention when he was in space.
Admittedly a lot of Canadians probably see him as Chris Hatfield, instead of Commander...though that was his formal title.

By coincidence the Canadarm that was described...I think version 1 or 2 was being built in huge lab in building where my brother-in-law had his faculty office --north end of Toronto (Downsview), University of Toronto. There is an Institute for Aerospace Studies --aerospace engineering. I did see the huge arm....behind glass viewing window.
