LONGUEUIL, Que. - Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield plays coy when asked whether his upcoming six-month visit to the International Space Station will be his last trip into the cosmos. <\/p>\n
\"Never, say never,\" he said in an interview at the Canadian Space Agency on Monday. <\/p>\n
The veteran astronaut is due to launch on a Russian spacecraft with NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko on Dec. 19 two weeks later than planned. <\/p>\n
The three were originally scheduled to blast off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Dec. 5. <\/p>\n
Hadfield says a Russian Soyuz will be visiting the space station in a couple of weeks and that trips by a couple of resupply ships are also planned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
