December 12, 2014. Ridgeland, MS. Wet Washcloth.

Wonderful Wendy struck again. She sent me to a You Tube link, describing a wet washcloth in space, done by Christ Hadfield. He is the Canadian member of the Canadian Space Agency, who spent six months at the International Space Center. The agency did a masterful job of publicizing his time in space and they made many videos by him describing what things are like in space. Kids all over Canada sent questions, which he answered in the videos. I had seen a few on TV but not many so I spent a couple of hours listening to his answers. Wendy was in Vancouver recently and with her brother Ken, entered a Borders book store, only to find Chris Hadfield signing copies of his book. Wendy and Ken of course knew nothing about him being there but they met him and purchased his book and reported that he was pleasant and personable, just as in the videos and that his handshake was firm. Wet Washcloth in Space was the one sent to me by Wendy, but there are many more. All are interesting and informative. Hats off to the Canadian Space Agency.
