MONTREAL — After tonight, astronaut Chris Hadfield might become a more typical social-media user and start posting pictures of mundane subjects — like food.

The Canadian space veteran is scheduled to return to Earth this evening after a five-month stay on the International Space Station.

The astronaut best known for having shared stunning pictures from space says what he’s really looking forward to now is the aroma of a rich cup of coffee, and other such delights.

“One of the things I miss here is the smell of food,” Hadfield said during his final news conference from space, last month.

“The rich aroma of a coffee or the smell of something that’s in the oven and the textures of food,” he said.

“Not a lot of our food is crunchy and has real delight in eating it.”
