Chris Hadfield reflects on space, music, and Starmus VIII.

Canadian space icon and former ISS commander Chris Hadfield sat down with us at Starmus VIII in Tenerife to reflect on bringing outer space to life on stage.

Following his acoustic performance of David Bowie's Space Oddity during the festival's star-studded opening night, Hadfield discusses the powerful connection between science, art, and inspiration, sharing what it means to gather alongside global pioneers, astronauts, and rock legends beneath the Tenerife night sky.
