Show Description: "After 5 months on the International Space Station, thousands of Tweets, dozens of You Tube videos, hundreds of experiments, and one out-of-this-world cover version of "Space Oddity", Commander Chris Hadfield is back on Earth, and speaking to us from Star City, Russia. He's finding his land legs again and undergoing medical tests to see how his body is adapting to gravity. And he says his days in space might not be over."
