    • Today Chris Hadfield returns to Earth as the brave outgoing commander of the International Space Station. But he also returns as a rock star. Literally.

      On Sunday, the Canadian astronaut released a YouTube video of him performing David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in space. In the video, which has been viewed over a half a million times in less than 24 hours, Hadfield hammed it up for the camera as he crooned about Major Tom, the intrepid, lonely and ultimately doomed space adventurer in the song. Hadfield stared wistfully out the window and strummed on an acoustic guitar aboard the space station.

      Hadfield tweeted about the video on Sunday, May 12 at 5:00 p.m. EST. "With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here's Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World," Hadfield, who has been active on Twitter and YouTube while in outer space, tweeted out to his followers. The tweet, as of this writing, now has over 14,000 retweets.

      For Allison Dearstyne of Dunkirk, Md., her first Mother's Day as a mom may be the best ever.

      Last November, when she was nine months pregnant, she and her husband Richard entered a photo in the Million Moms Challenge "Imagine Me & You" contest. The black and white photo, titled "May You Stay Forever Young," was one of 450 images submitted by moms-to-be across the country, all of whom wrote a message of five words or less on their bellies. The goal: to raise awareness about the challenges facing moms and babies around the world.

      "The Bob Dylan lyric 'May You Stay Forever Young' was a clJassic song from my childhood," Allison said. "And I think that all moms and babies around the world - even those who are less privileged - should have a chance at life…a chance to stay forever young."

      Clara Noel was born on Dec. 5, 2012, and the Dearsytnes became preoccupied with caring for their beautiful little
