FYI, for those interested, NASA TV will be covering the handover ceremony live on the ISS in a couple minutes

It is quite possible that a Canadian will never again command the ISS. :(

And so Hadfield transferred command to Vinogradov at 1948 UTC May 12.

I remain a little bit confused about the relative significance of the change of command ceremony and the 'official' expedition numbering switchover at Soyuz undocking. Would someone in the know care to riff on this subject? Seems like the CoC ceremony is the 'real' boundary in the sense that if an emergency were to happen this evening it's Pavel who would be in charge? But he's not 'Commander of Expedition 35' now even though Ex 35 is still underway.

I know Pete, I have no illusions of that either. At least he made Canada proud on a job well done.

Now, on to Mars!  hehe  ;)

Oh, totally agree. I've seen more mainstream media articles about Hadfield than I have about any other ISS astronaut. He should be a case study for all astronauts on innovative outreach methods.

I'm not 'in the know', but as I understand it, the departing crew (Exp 35) is winding down (or has finished) their various experiments and are packing to return home. The new commander is in charge of any emergency that arises. It would be too cumbersome to have, say, Chris Hadfield in charge of an emergency as he prepares to leave in his Sokul pressure suit. There needs to be a defining line in the sand, and this is it.

I believe this was the first time for any of the two new Canadian astronauts (Jeremy Hansen or David St-Jacques) to be Capcom on console ??...that was Jeremy Hansen....

Oh WOW, what a treat. Thanks for posting that. Obviously meant for wide release tomorrow with the inclusion of the Soyuz departure and landing.

A great melding of lyrics to make it more personal. Love how he went for the guitar at the end (as I was concerned about impact at first glimpse...)

I hope it makes the rounds on Canadian news channels tomorrow (I think I'll help them out, just to make sure)  ;)

So that's who it was...wasn't sure (ashamedly I don't know the newer Canadian astronauts as well as I should)
