WASHINGTON, - Bagpipes made their first appearance in space, as a viral video shows an astronaut on the International Space Station using the traditional instrument to play "Amazing Grace."
A video posted to Facebook shows Astronaut Kjell Lindgren playing the tune, representing the first time bagpipes have ever been played in space.
Lindgren was born in Taipei, Taiwan but spent most of his life living in England.
He was selected to be an astronaut in June of 2009 and has been working as an engineer on the International Space Station since July 2015.
