Canadian astronaut and former Space Station commander Chris Hadfield sent Alexander a video message in the run-up to his launch 28 May.

Crhis is eager to follow Alexander’s mission and see our planet through Alexander’s eyes: “Nobody sees the world quite the same as somebody seeing it for the first time”

Alexander responded to this video:

I was very delighted to see Chris‘ inspiring message, because it reminds us not only of how special it is to see the Earth from space, but also and more importantly, how special this planet is that we live on and call home. I think Chris did a fantastic job of keeping us Earthlings informed about this amazing international laboratory that circles our entire planet once in 90 minutes, and I will certainly try to send some messages and photos home when I find the time in our busy work days.
