Chris Hadfield:

Good morning. I'm at Zvezda which means Star. It's where they build ejection seats and it's where they build space suits.

I'm in my little change room. I'm going to be trying on all of my space equipment to make sure that I haven't got fat or got too thin and be ready for what we wear all this equipment in the simulators and then wear all this equipment for space flight.
