It's time we had a Halloween contest!
Send me photos of your best astronaut costumes on the 31st – I'll send the winners some cool prizes!

Nowhere does Hadfield state that the astronaut costume must be of him, though his iconic mustache has, understandably, made him an attractive option:

One costumer even did herself up as Hadfield as David Bowie, in reference to the former commander’s recent appearance on the cover of Maclean’s:

But this one’s definitely our favorite:
@Cmdr_Hadfield you're an inspiration to us all! This Hallowe'en we are representing, albeit in an adorable way 🙂 pic.twitter.com/mqSpc7gqP2
