HOUSTON, June 11 (UPI) -- Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who captivated the world with photos and videos on social media from the International Space Station, says he's retiring.
Hadfield, 53, said he is fulfilling a promise he made to his wife to move back to Canada after 30 years in the United States.
Hadfield, who has lived in Texas since he became a fighter pilot in the late-1980s and since his assignment to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston by the Canadian Space Agency, will retire in July and return to his native Ontario.
"I've had such an interesting career and after 35 years it's time to step down," Hadfield was quoted as saying by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. "I'm the last astronaut of my class that's still around."
While in space as commander of the International Space Station, Hadfield garnered 1 million Twitter followers as he tweeted about his life on the orbiting laboratory, sharing striking images of the Earth.
In May, his zero-gravity rendition of the David Bowie song "Space Oddity" went viral on YouTube.
"Chris Hadfield has inspired all Canadians, especially our next generation of scientists and engineers," Chris Alexander, Canadian parliamentary secretary for defense, said in a statement.
"His exceptional career achievements make him a true Canadian hero and icon."

The International Space Station's first treadmill, referred to as the Treadmill Vibration Isolation System, or TVIS, floats inside the orbiting outpost in May as it was being prepared for Tuesday's disposal.
Robert Z. Pearlman Space.com A space apparatus that for more than a dozen years enabled both astronauts and cosmonauts to literally run around the Earth has pretty much run its course, NASA said Tuesday. The International Space Station's original treadmill hss been condemned to a fiery destruction aboard a spent Russian cargo freighter.
The treadmill, which NASA had earlier reported was aboard a spent Russian cargo freighter that left the International Space Station Tuesday , actually will leave the station and be discarded with the next Russian unmanned resupply vehicle, Progress M-18M (50P), which as of Tuesday was scheduled to undock on July 26. After its departure, the cargo craft and its contents including the treadmill will be destroyed during its descent back into Earth's atmosphere.
(A NASA spokesperson confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the information earlier provided earlier to collectSpace.com by the space agency was in error.)
The now-discarded exercise device, called the "Treadmill Vibration Isolation System," or TVIS (pronounced "tee-viss"), was used by the orbiting outpost's first 34 resident crews from November 2000 until March of this year, when it was replaced by a new Russian-built unit. The 12-year-old running machine (and sometimes marathon track) was previously succeeded by a more advanced U.S. treadmill that was famously renamed after the television comedian Stephen Colbert.
"There has been a history of treadmills, trying to get them to work pretty well in space, and it is no easy feat," said NASA astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams, who ran on the TVIS, and later the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. (Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill), to stay in shape during her two long-duration missions onboard the space station in 2006 and 2012.

Astronauts and cosmonauts use treadmills and other types of exercise devices as a countermeasure to the debilitating effects that extended exposure to microgravity has on the human body, including the loss of muscle mass and bone density.
Williams made history on the TVIS by becoming the first person to run a full marathon in space. On April 16, 2007, as thousands on the ground ran in the Boston Marathon, Williams completed the same distance on the stationary-but-still-circling-the-Earth treadmill.
"It made it through the (marathon's) 26.2 miles without a fault," Williams recalled in an interview with collectSpace about the TVIS's legacy.
