@Blazing_Griffins Well I strongly agree. I am a Canadian and I know a lot of nice, lovely, cheerful, polite and sweet people. Sure, there's some cranky folk out there, but people are generally good.
Same...also, the fact that he never got a chance to meet Bowie made me kind of sad. That must have been so cool for Bowie to get that phone call and then hear his song being sung in space. That must have felt great when Bowie said he loved it! I’m so glad his son insisted on video!
So emotional the way he says “she was so beautiful that day, it was a good day” it’s HIS day graduating but he still remembers her glow of joy. You know he couldn’t have done any of it without her,
He lives near me, and one day I walked in to wal-Mart and he was standing there and I yelled out it’s Chris Hadfield and my sister was like who? He heard me and turned around and took a photo with me and my sister. I love that photo it’s on my computer I’ll share it later :)
Columbia was tragic and truly heart breaking. In a slightly biased fashion I'd like to remind people of Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin to go to space who also sadly perished with Columbia. She was one of my first role models growing up as an Indian kid seeing someone achieve something so amazing internationally. The Columbia disaster made me cry as a kid and I will never forget that day. Mighty respect to her and the entire crew of Columbia and I am so glad Cmd. Hadfield brought it up since it rarely gets mentioned anymore. We should always remember the sacrifices that have been given for humanity.
When my daughter was born, there were difficulties in birth and we stayed in hospital for a week. I had recently received Chris's autobiography as a gift and decided that whilst I was cuddling her, I would read it to her. Now that she is 6, and we have found out she is autistic, we have also found that she loves watching his videos, just watching him floating around in space whilst doing things that we do on earth. Chris's videos aren't just inspiring to people, they are stimulating for some.

@@JavveRinne I have a painting of Atlantis the spaceshuttle that stands in Florida (kennedy space center) because I went there 1 time and I live on the other side of the world (this was the best day of my life). And my teacher loved space and rockets, so we could talk hours about it. And I made a model rocket (if this makes sense😂) that was also Atlantis. But now I just want to go to space. And I think all day about it.🌌👩🏼🚀
That’s not that uncommon for successful people to have accomplished a lot. Think about how many medical people you know who also fly. I know multiple of them.
OMG!!! What an amazing interview... I cried out of emotion when you were telling the story about the song... how proud he talks about his son, how proud he talks about Bowie loving the video and how in that way was in space!!!!
His interviews never cease to amaze me. What an incredible life, man & teacher. His love for teaching science & new perspectives is always evident. He is such a great story teller as well.
I’ve seen countless videos about this man and I could listen to him speak forever. He truly makes you feel the emotions and visuals of what it is like being able to travel to space.
Chris is an example of what a human being should be, curious, intelligent humble and a fantastic Canadian. Hope to meet you one day Chris.........come out to where it all started: the glider field. I’m inviting you to Sosa glider airport for a flight. My treat! Hans Juergensen
so fortunate to have met the Mr. Hadfield...at his shows..& book signings!!...The ROCK STAR of Astronauts!! If i may add...He's CANADIAN TOO!! Our HERO!!
That's why they like to send test pilots into space. They can remain calm and make good decisions under extreme pressure. These men and women are extraordinary.
When people question the value & purpose of space exploration, I quote this guy. “It made me believe impossible things can happen. When you see your kid playing in a box, let them dream”. 👍👍👍
he was my idol, i never wanted to become an astronaut but chris is such an inspiring person but when i heard that he retired, i cried my eyeballs out, chris hadfield is still my idol and i admire him! Chris is probably someone who would be such an amazing person to talk to. I just am shocked on his retirement and it did make me sad , but its his decision, and if it makes him happy, i’ll be happy! Thanks if you read this far.
So nice of him that he mentioned the Kalpana Chawla incident . The first Indian women to go up in space but sadly lost. So nice of him to acknowledge the mistake and accept it that we failed those people
Wired has some great videos, but this is by far the best. Well done. Also: “If you ever see your son playing inside a box, let him dream” Chris Hadfield. ...priceless.
they usually get a bachelor's in engineering and then go to med school. after finishing med school, they complete their residency and then train for piloting.
Chris is downright amazing, he has accomplished so many things in one lifetime that a normal person would need 10 to do. Any interview with him is just a pleasure
He’s so intelligent and brilliant, yet he always makes sure to describe every situation in a way that anyone can understand exactly what he’s talking about. Thank you Chris!
Imagine if they had gotten that crew to check the damage on their wing when they were in space and they’d realised then that there was no way they would ever make it back through the atmosphere. How horrific.
Chris has always been a hero to me. He has inspired many young Americans to live their dream of becoming Astronauts, and showed the importance of space to millions of people. Seeing him sing and play guitar is so wholesome and I'm thankful he was given the opportunity to do so before he ended his space career.
Thank you TH-cam. I discovered Chris Hadfield. What a story. What a life. And I just watched his Ted Talk. Easily the best story I have ever come across. Gotta be the best person to have a beer with. If thats not too trivial for an Astronaut.
That 95 on your math test could be the start of something big! Keep in mind that some of the most successful people in the world didn't even graduate high school. Dream, then do everything you can to accomplish that dream.
this is the only person i would ever genuinely be interested in hearing reminisce over old photos for hours tbh his life is so interesting and he’s so kind and humble
I LOVE this guy. Chris Hatfield is my FAVORITE, featured astronaut in these videos. His voice inflection, movement, and ability to tell stories keeps me engaged.
Every time the advertisement for his masterclass comes on during a TH-cam binge session, i can't skip it. I can't help but be fascinated by the way he describes things. So detailed and real. He is so cool.
