History made as bagpipes played in space

Bagpipes made their space debut when astronaut Kjell Lindgren played the bagpipes aboard the International Space Station, a first for the instrument.

He performed "Amazing Grace" in honour of research scientist and instructor Victor Hurst, who died unexpectedly last month at the age of 48.
