Astronaut Chris Hadfield Wins PR Award for Being Awesome
We generally don’t post on awards announcements here at PRNewser because 1) we don’t have the resources to give out our own awards and 2) that’s kind of your job.
In this case, however, we will make an exception because Chris Hadfield is the world’s coolest astronaut (apologies to Sandra Bullock).
The Canadian Public Relations Society gave its President’s Award for Outstanding Public Relations and Communications Management to former-Commander-now-Colonel Hadfield yesterday. Why?
For bringing media attention to the Canadian Space Agency and the International Space Station, of course.
National President Richard Truscott, APR, said:
“Chris was the face of not only the Canadian space program, but of the world’s collaborative mission while he commanded the International Space Station…[he was] was able to communicate with the people of the world, inspire the next generation of astronauts and scientists, and engage everyone in the conversation about space and Earth.
