As you can see in the top photo, the crew landed safely on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 in the steppes of Kazakhstan.

For the past five months, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has been providing a steady stream of beautiful photos, as well as sharing the gist of his experiences via social networking sites, most notably Twitter. Hadfield became a sensation on the Internet, thanks to his eloquence, wit, and the enthusiasm he radiates, with which he can explain any experiment and contribute to the education of the younger generation.

During his journey, Hadfield conducted experiments with schoolchildren, talked to people via ham radio, and sang us songs, including singing along to nearly a million students via webcast. He also exchanged tweets with Star Trek captains, as well as first officers and engineers the heroes of the series, as well as with average people who asked questions and set a new standard of reference.
But the highlight was an entire album he recorded on the space station with one guitar. In David Bowie's song Space Oddity, against the background of the station's facilities, he changed the location of the plot and moved it to the International Space Station.

On Saturday, Hadfield participated in a spacewalk intended for the emergency repair of an ammonia leak from the station's cooling system, and today he is scheduled to return to Earth with two of his friends in the Soyuz spacecraft that he mentioned in the song.
