The mission generated considerable media attention and turned Commander Chris Hadfield into a minor celebrity. The expedition made extensive use of social media, and several videos uploaded to YouTube have generated millions of hits. In particular, Hadfield was involved in the "first music video recorded in space", a rendition ofDavid Bowie's 1969 song "Space Oddity".[5] Hadfield was also involved in the revealing of the Bank of Canada's new $5 note, part of theFrontier Series of polymer bills released in 2013. The revealing occurred via video on the ISS.[6]
During Expedition 35, theSpaceX CRS-2 mission successfully delivered supplies to the station and returned some cargo from space. This was the second of SpaceX's contracted cargo flights to the ISS and the first to use the unpressurized trunk section.
On 11 May 11, 2013, Christopher Cassidy and Thomas Marshburn performed an unplanned spacewalk to replace a pump controller box suspected to be the source of an ammonia coolant leak.[7][8]
