As if serving as commander aboard the International Space Station wasn’t enough of a challenge, NASA astronaut Drew Feustel teamed up with Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip to record a music video from space.
NASA shared the music video to its YouTube channel, and the space station to its Facebook page. Feustel, a Lake Orion, Michigan native, is scheduled to depart the orbiting laboratory for home early Thursday morning, Oct. 4.

The Michigan native routinely shared photos from his view from the space station to his Twitter account during his stay aboard the orbiting laboratory. His crew launched to the space station back in March, and he had the controls of the station handed to him as a previous mission returned home back in June.
“Station commander Drew Feustel is preparing to return to Earth Thursday with two of his crewmates despite a busy schedule of science and maintenance aboard the orbital lab,” NASA reports on its website.
“Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev is packing the Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft today that he will pilot back to Earth flanked by Feustel and NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold. The trio is due to land in Kazakhstan at 7:45 a.m. after 197 days in space.”

In the past, Feustel has shared photos from the space station of the Great Lakes, Mackinac Bridge, Detroit, and events such as a volcanic eruption in Hawaii and more to his Twitter page.
The Michigan native made headlines in a humorous manner earlier this year when he realized he forgot the SD card for his GoPro camera — a normal mistake — while taking a six-hour spacewalk outside the space station — a not-so-normal setting.
