To do this Sunday: astronaut Chris Hadfield's Reddit AMA

Xeni Jardin at 1:12 pm Sat, Feb 16, 2013

Chris Hadfield will be doing his first live Reddit AMA (ask me anything) Sunday, February 17 at 9:00 GMT/UTC (4 pm ET). The Canadian astronaut and current commander of the International Space Station will answer all your questions about life in space, and whatever else you care to ask. Recently, Hadfield spoke with fellow Canadian and space-lover William Shatner; their conversation is above.

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

It’s actually his second AMA. He did one back in December before going into space while he was in quarantine.

This was cool. Thanks for posting. He must feel that he is in a Baron Münchhausen adventure at times, with no real up or down.
