DinnerWithASpaceman2260 karma

Hi Col. Hadfield,

I met you last week at your book signing in Montreal and it was one of the highlights of my year, along with seeing you speak on Canada Day in Ottawa (which I happened upon by complete chance.) You are a true Canadian hero and an inspiration to people everywhere; you’ve single-handedly gotten countless more people interested in space exploration.

I’ve only just begun your book – I’m on Chapter 3 – and the amount of things I’ve learnt about you already is staggering. I will refrain from asking any questions about you personally for the time being as they may already be answered in the book.

My only question is whether or not you would consider allowing me the honour of treating you to dinner the next time you are in Montreal? I figured I’d ask even though I doubt it’ll ever happen, but like you said in reference to playing on stage with Elton John: “Just in case.”
