SPACEMAN—Astronaut Chris Hadfield is Canada’s greatest living hero—a humble scientist who’s spent thousands of hours in space, all the while cracking wise and playing guitar. Hadfield’s especially famous for making earnest videos showing the quotidian doings of life in orbit—and also for a magical, zero-gravity rendition of “Space Oddity.” He’s also written a book about his time in the sky, and he’ll be taking us on a photographic tour around the world tonight. (And maybe playing a song.) DENIS C. THERIAULT
