In a first for long-distance duets, CBC Music debuted on Friday the first original song to be performed simultaneously in space and on the ground. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who is a member of the all-astronaut band Max Q, collaborated with Barenaked Ladies’ frontman Ed Robertson to pen the song that the two then performed with the Wexford Gleeks youth choir. The song, called “I.S.S.” (“Is Somebody Singing”) is about an astronaut missing his loved ones on the Earth.
