Chris Hadfield

Astronauts like Canadian Chris Hadfield can often find themselves stuck in outer space with a lot of free-floating time on their hands. For the past 5 months Chris has been commander of Expedition 35 aboard the International Space Station.

On Sunday, he was set to hand over the controls to Pavel Vinogradov but before doing so, he shared the following awesome cover of David Bowie’s 1969 classic “Space Oddity” with the world.

That would even make Ziggy Stardust proud!

Ground control should be on the ready for Hadfield and fellow astronaut Thomas Marshburn’s return to Earth expected today.

Undeterred by the obstacles in life, Skimbles throws caution to the wind and takes a leap of faith from the edge of a table to a window seal that, honestly, isn’t that far away. Warning: Addictive viralness!

VIDEO Miguel’s leap fail confirms stage jumping has jumped the shark

During last night’s Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, up and coming artist Miguel thought he’d make a leap from part of the stage to a catwalk. The decision turned out to be a bad one — especially for the domes of two ladies jamming out in the pit. See the Miguel-Fail as a photo, the full video, in animated gif and get his reaction via Twitter.
