TORONTO -- Astronaut Chris Hadfield is entering a new kind of frontier -- the literary world.
The first Canadian to walk in space will release "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth" in October.
The book will be published by Random House Canada and will offer stories, lessons and experiences from Hadfield's time in space.
Hadfield retired in May after serving as commander of the International Space Station.
This step into the arts is a logical one for the 53-year-old, who became an online sensation while in space for his active social media presence and his YouTube videos showing life on the station.
