Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans. How does this get fixed? Well, mercy said "I dont want to give them what they deserve. I don't want them to be cut off from Me. I love them despite all they have done/will do against Me. I want to give My children another chance. I want them to come home and live in My love again". But the evil had to still be dealt with, as God - being good - cannot simply let evil off scott-free. Like a judge can't let a murderer off scott-free, otherwise it shows approval of it. And so, love said "Jesus, God's Son, came down as a Man, our representative, suffering every temptation, pain and struggle we have ever faced, yet without sin. Living perfectly ON OUR BEHALF. He took all our sins (past/present/even future) to the cross and then crucified EVERY ONE on our behalf, like paying the fine to legally free us. Justice was paid on the cross so that we can be free from Hell's punishment, experience Gods mercy of forgiveness of sin and live in His love. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (turn away from our sin and pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as is impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx
+mlindholm Yes, and Andy stowed his mic after Chris did because he first took the time to turn it off, which Chris didn't seem to have done. Adam is the only one who's like "Fuck it, someone will take care of it." :-)

Most of our science would look like weird made up bullshit to someone even just 100 years ago. Completely oblivious to parts of it, to simple things that are common knowledge even amongst conspiracy nutjobs. So you'll never know.
@@5Andysalive 50 years ago, even. We progress at an exponential rate, I wouldn't be surprised if someone discovered a new method of space travel in the next 3-5 years.
I've spent this week watching Andy Weir panels. He tells a lot of the same stories and has a lot of the same phrases but somehow I'm not bored of it yet.
Stephen king is a little like that too when he does talks and panels, but both guy's like to make people laugh at live events so I think that's often what leads to them telling the same stories or anecdotes
Interesting that Chris talked about the separation from earth. We had a bit of that when we went to sea on a submarine. We were alone. Cut off, except by voice or message, from everyone else. All our decisions were our own. No one was going to run over and take a look or inspect us. We were several hundred feet below the surface. Going to the Moon or Mars you will be many miles or millions of miles from the "surface".
Towards the end they talk about the impact that this book + movie have had on public support for space and NASA. That was great and all true. However, you completely forgot to mention all the impact that Cmdr Chris Hadfield had when he was an astronaut on ISS and how much impact he had with his popular twitter feed, photos, and of course that music video. I would argue that that was the true genesis of the modern resurgence of space+NASA popularity.
I saw the title and thought "Huh. This looks interesting. I'll stick around for a couple of minutes". 57 minutes and 7 seconds later, here I am in the comments. I have already read the book and watched the movie months ago, but now I really regret not picking a STEM major when I started university, just 3 years ago... This is going to haunt me forever :(
Same. I was debating between choosing stem and the business course last year and that was during the time when my interest in astronomy was building up. I ended up choosing the latter and realized that shit's not for me once i started school. I wasn't able to grasp the one opportunity to shifts courses for the second semester so now i crei. Hope we can find our way in the future
Chris Hadfield never seizes to amaze me with the way he talks. His personality is engendering so much trust for me. Anyway, one of the funniest scenes of the martian for me was when Watney casually blows away the dust from the solar panels in the beginning of the movie. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the controllers of the Opportunity and currently inoperative spirit rover. Those are covered with martian dust right now, and no way to get it off.
I remember when I was reading the book that I thought Pirate-Ninjas would cancel down to Watts. I did a rough mental calculation of the value in my head and thought for a moment I had finally hit on the answer, or rather, the question, the ultimate question. Turns out my maths was slightly out, rather than 40.6W, I was thinking. "How many Watts in a Pirate Ninja?" "Forty Two".
+Balc0ra's Gaming hehe Im quite attached with that quote myself, but I think they made the right choice in cutting it out. I mean he can clearly see his own face through the monitor so making that remark is not only too obvious of a joke but would detract from the actual purpose of his log entries by turning them into stand up comedy bits.
Gotta love this talk. No need for flashy titles. Everyone is down to earth and legit.. tangents here and there.. you don't feel like they were restricted by time or anything. Very top notch!
I was thrilled to indirectly get a mention from Adam since I was one of the people close enough to the Arclight Hollywood cinema to get a bunch of detail photos of the surface EVA suit to put on the RPF. This was a great talk and like a lot of people here are saying, I could listen to Chris Hadfield talk about anything and be riveted.
Being a red-blooded Canadian guy and a former pilot, naturally I have unlimited respect for Chris Hadfield and his colleagues in the Canadian Space Agency, NASA and the Russian Space Program. Chris Austin Hadfield is truly one of those one in ten million kind of guys. He decided he wanted to become an astronaut at the tender age of nine, at a time when becoming an astronaut was an impossibility, because back then there were no Canadian astronauts. His next step was joining the Royal Canadian Air Cadets as a teenager, where he sought after and was awarded a flying scholarship, learning to fly gliders. A few years later he took his next big step toward his ultimate goal, joining the Canadian Armed Forces where he earned his engineering degree at Royal Military College. Later he reached the pinnacle of military flying in Canada, becoming an F/A-18 fighter pilot. While there as part of an exchange program between the RCAF and the United States Air Force and Navy, he attended and graduated from both of their test pilot schools and later obtained a master's degree in aviation systems at the University of Tennessee Space Institute. As if he hadn't already achieved a lot of success, another fortuitous step toward his goal presented itself: the 1983 formation of the Canadian Space Agency. Six outstanding Canadians became Canada's first astronauts: Roberta Bondar , Marc Garneau, Steve MacLean, Ken Money, Robert Thirsk and Bjarni Tryggvason. Nine years later in 1992, as Chris Hadfield was leaving the RCAF, another incredible opportunity came his way when CSA announced an additional astronaut positions. Some five thousand talented Canadian applicants were whittled down to just four spots. Once again, Chris Hadfield excelled and was selected, along with three other talented Canadians: Mike McKay, Dave Williams and the talented woman who would two decades later become Canada's Governor General, Madame Julie Payette. Hadfield flew into space three times. But before those opportunity were presented to him, he became well respected among his peers at NASA, known for accepting any job he was offered there. On his first spaceflight, STS 74, aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, Chris Hadfield became just the fourth Canadian to be launch into space on November 12th, 1995. On that flight he became the first Canadian to visit the Russian space station, Mir. On his second flight, STS 100, launched on November 30th, 2000, Chris Hadfield became the third Canadian to visit the ISS and the first Canadian to walk in space. On his third and final spaceflight, launched on December 19th, 2012, he rode a Russian Soyuz rocket up for his second and final trip to the International Space Station. During that 144 day space odyssey Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station. In his spare time aboard I.S.S. he became the first astronaut to ever record and perform a song, the late David Bowie's Space Oddity. Hadfield also co-wrote and later performed another song, the latter while still in orbit, entitled IS Somebody Singing, along with Barenaked Ladies front man Ed Robertson and the Wexford Gleeks, an all-women's choral group in Scarborough, Ontario, a part of Greater Toronto. Is he a great pilot, a brilliant engineer and a tremendous human being? Hell, yeah! Did he also have unbelievable timing? You bet! Did opportunity after opportunity seem to appear as if preordained, just at the right time for him, and for the rest of his Canadian astronaut colleagues? Absolutely. But that doesn't come close o explaining just how amazing this guy is. He has worked very hard AND very smart to obtain his success. Perhaps most critically, Hadfield was fortunate to have a burning desire to obtain his goal of becoming an astronaut at a very early age, a trait common among highly successful people. What's next for this ultra-successful yet humble Canadian family man? Well, if you'll pardon the pun, for Chris Hadfield I'd say the sky is the limit! Music and performing, doing Interviews, his many television appearances, best-selling books. Perhaps a successful political career is next, like his fellow Canadian astronaut Marc Garneau, the first Canadian to be launched into space. Chris Hadfield remains a passionate spokesman for continued space exploration. Despite all of his many successes, or perhaps beause of them, he is still married to the same woman. He's still the same down-to-earth, respectful Canadian, with evident personal values and an engaging personality. Chris Hadfield for Prime Minister, you may ask? Well, if I've learned anything from researching this incredibly talented Canadian, I'd say this: Whatever you do, don't underestimate his ability to rise to meet every challenge, seize every opportunity within his grasp and set and achieve great goals. What a great Canadian, eh?
A small thing I noticed is that Col. Chris Hadfield kept refering to NASA as "we" even when he talked about the Colombia disaster, he wasn't afraid to distance himself from that.
Amazing interview about really nice movie. The way Chris can connect pure professionalism with audience in the way that "most will get it", is amazing.
Very nice talk. Seeing Weir talk about his own limitations gives me much respect for him since he is so humble. I like that he is along for the ride and enjoying things without success trying to swell his head. Who knows, maybe he will end up getting involved in some sort of mission control capacity some day (or at least as some form of consultant or support on a future space endeavor). Adam was also the perfect moderator for this. In a sense, these three guys almost form a crew of their own. Each contributed to the "mission success" (i.e. the talk), yet each brought a different skill set and knowledge base to the table to "work the problem".
The shuttle program lasted a LOT longer than any other American manned space system. Mercury and Gemini lasted 2 or 3 years, Apollo lasted 4, STS ran for decades.
12:55 Chris probably remembering every spacesuit he's ever seen Adam in, followed by the Suit-up procedure for that one 2001 suit he slipped into. He confirms it all, nods, then comes back.
I love watching and listening to the book back to back.....Every time I listen and watch this story I catch something else. About to watch it again.... followed by listening to it......for the 8th time.
Nothing in principle, but it would be a hard sell for a movie theater release. Had it been presented as a miniseries, it could easily by five times that duration, but that would be a different presentation altogether.
Great chat. Columbia astronauts: Commander: Rick D. Husband, a U.S. Air Force colonel and mechanical engineer, who piloted a previous shuttle during the first docking with the International Space Station (STS-96). Pilot: William C.

Mission Specialist: Laurel Blair Salton Clark, a U.S. Navy captain and flight surgeon. Clark worked on biological experiments.
Perhaps I cadaver go! 1:16. Strange that they don't use clip-on mikes. The sound is excellent, however. At 18:20 They could cover hand rails with soft plastic to avoid metal snags. Chris is a great guy. I love his rendition of Major Tom(other video) 21:15 Dandruff is something to avoid! Will we ever get to Mars? The food supplies alone would weigh an enormous amount.
Wonderful! A document I can reference when telling people the radiation problems are show-stoppers for manned Mars missions for the foreseeable future. (Edit: watch at 33:15) I don't like it either, but that's what we have to accept. It's wonderful to have NASA and The Martian author both publicly admitting this. Not wanting to be a party-pooper, I want to thank everyone involved in making a science fiction movie that gets as much of the science right as it can. I'll happily continue to support this trend by buying 3D IMAX tickets to all such movies. Thanks all!
+Melinda Green "...A document I can reference when telling people the radiation problems are show-stoppers for manned Mars missions..." I am not so sure. As the old cliche goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention." I would be shocked if new technologies could not substantially reduce (but not eliminate) the radiation challenge of a long duration voyage to Mars or maybe a near Earth asteroid. -If we chose to return to the Moon, valuable solutions may be reached about how to cope with the radiation hazards of space. -Find a very small asteroid, hollow it out and use its interior for most of your in-flight operations? (There might even be usable water hidden within the asteroid.) -Coupled with an exterior shielding of water and other materials, perhaps generate a huge magnetic field around your spacecraft to deflect cosmic rays and hazardous radiation from the Sun?
Nicholas Hylton The moon is still within the Earth's protective zone so that doesn't count. Living inside asteroids is fine but you can't use them as spaceships because of the absurd energy required to push them around. Same for any sort of material shielding. Magnetic shielding only works against charged particles and again would require enormous amounts of energy. If you somehow find enough energy for any of the above, you're better off just traveling lighter and faster. Once there however it's a life lived almost entirely underground. We have a pretty good idea what we're up against and currently know of no reasonable solutions and can't gamble that we'll figure something out something entirely new.
The Moon resides within the Earth's magnetosphere? Only a fraction of the time actually. On Earth's day facing side, solar radiation pressure compresses it to only 63,000 km - with the Moon orbiting well beyond at 384,000 km. On the night side, the Moon spends only about 6 days traversing the magnetotail. None of the suggestions I mentioned are _the_ answer. Not by a long shot. Just concepts I have heard bandied about over the years. They all have issues that make them technically difficult or impractical at present. As for living underground, that is a strong possibility. Constructing lunar or martian bases underneath soil may offer the protection needed to make surface exploration viable. _"We have a pretty good idea what we're up against and currently know of no reasonable solutions and can't gamble that we'll figure something out something entirely new."_ I think you are not giving human ingenuity enough credit. In a little over a century, we have gone from hypothetical 'atoms' and 'germs' to medical devices that use antimatter for non-invasive diagnoses. What's your hurry? Mars is not going to disappear any time soon. Scientists and engineers will continue to 'work the problem' in incremental steps.
+Nicholas Hylton Perhaps I'm wrong about the general safety of the Earth-Moon system, but at least moon colonists would be able to safely make surface excursions during the times when the Moon is within the Earth's magnetosphere. Mars colonists will have no such luxury. Sure, some technological breakthrough can always surprise us, but not all breakthroughs are equally likely. For example, the Apollo capsule development was started before they had developed a booster capable of lifting it. That was a gamble, but a fairly safe one because the solution space was well understood. In this case we'd be betting on a fundamental breakthrough in physics, and no sane person would commit hundreds of billions of dollars on such a gamble. And that's just to get you there and back safely. You'd still need to live underground for all but a total of about one month out of your life, which is not what most people imagine when they consider living on Mars. I'm certainly in no hurry to get men to Mars. I'd much rather keep sending robots because they'll return so much more science per dollar. I'm just saying that I feel that anybody expecting to see men on Mars before 2040 are likely to be disappointed.
During the Apollo landings the astronauts were able to make safe EVAs while outside of earth's magnetosphere. The brief protection offered by the magnetotail of earth wouldn't be anywhere near enough to protect lunar colonists long-term. A real solution would be to build a lunar base underneath a layer of lunar soil, so as to absorb incoming GCRs. That way, the astronauts could spend most of their time protected from dangerous dosages of radiation, only spending a little bit of time per day on EVA activities so as to minimize radiation exposure. The same procedure could be used on mars - build the base under the martian soil. Sure, excavation would complicate construction a bit, but if we can get to mars with humans in the first place then we can damn well dig a trench. Living on mars wouldn't be too much of a problem radiation-wise. It would be the time spent in transit to mars and back that would be the real show-stopper. And, even then, "show-stopper" may not be all that accurate. Sure, their radiation exposure would be much higher than that of a normal human on earth, and it would increase their risk of cancer in the future drastically, but I'm sure many astronauts would say that it was worth the risk. Exploration is inherently dangerous. If we ever wish to make any real progress, we can't be afraid to push the envelope of what's possible. If scurvy stopped all sea-fairing expeditions in the age of European expansionism, then Columbus wouldn't have stumbled across North-America. Similarly, I doubt we'll let radiation stop us on our way to Mars.
15:00 i wasn't so much concerned about pressure as, why did they have that much duck tape? it's like when they have control panel lights marked "self destruct" - they anticipated a self destruct? they knew two hundred rolls of tape would be needed....
+Thomas Oppenhoff (Lochkarte) The Movie was set in 2035 (which was even stated in the movie somewhere, although a bit hidden, but it's there).. you can still try to figure out what year the book is set in
+Thomas Oppenhoff (Lochkarte) He's given the actual year and date, actually, the time of launch iirc, on his talk with Google, he even had a projection screen that shows the simulation he wrote.
+Jeppe Morgenthaler Actually we do know the date. Its simple subtraction from Thanksgiving to Sol 1 to Launch day. Also he has already stated what it was.

I've spent this week watching Andy Weir panels. He tells a lot of the same stories and has a lot of the same phrases but somehow I'm not bored of it yet.
Stephen king is a little like that too when he does talks and panels, but both guy's like to make people laugh at live events so I think that's often what leads to them telling the same stories or anecdotes
Interesting that Chris talked about the separation from earth. We had a bit of that when we went to sea on a submarine. We were alone. Cut off, except by voice or message, from everyone else. All our decisions were our own. No one was going to run over and take a look or inspect us. We were several hundred feet below the surface. Going to the Moon or Mars you will be many miles or millions of miles from the "surface".
Towards the end they talk about the impact that this book + movie have had on public support for space and NASA. That was great and all true. However, you completely forgot to mention all the impact that Cmdr Chris Hadfield had when he was an astronaut on ISS and how much impact he had with his popular twitter feed, photos, and of course that music video. I would argue that that was the true genesis of the modern resurgence of space+NASA popularity.
a bit late but i 100% percent agree!
This panel is like my dream team.
+ NDT and Elon Musk.. Now that's the Dream Team
I love that Norm gets to ask a question!
man that guy who had a slowly suffocating layer of water covering his face while he stayed at a cool 95 bpm has ice.in.his.veins.
I saw the title and thought "Huh. This looks interesting. I'll stick around for a couple of minutes". 57 minutes and 7 seconds later, here I am in the comments. I have already read the book and watched the movie months ago, but now I really regret not picking a STEM major when I started university, just 3 years ago... This is going to haunt me forever :(
Lol I wish i did that too like 2 days ago was my enrollment for senior high. Sigh.
Same. I was debating between choosing stem and the business course last year and that was during the time when my interest in astronomy was building up. I ended up choosing the latter and realized that shit's not for me once i started school. I wasn't able to grasp the one opportunity to shifts courses for the second semester so now i crei. Hope we can find our way in the future
Chris Hadfield never seizes to amaze me with the way he talks. His personality is engendering so much trust for me. Anyway, one of the funniest scenes of the martian for me was when Watney casually blows away the dust from the solar panels in the beginning of the movie. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the controllers of the Opportunity and currently inoperative spirit rover. Those are covered with martian dust right now, and no way to get it off.
I wonder how they would have felt when reading about Watney deciding not to visit Opportunity (having got rather close) in the book.
I remember when I was reading the book that I thought Pirate-Ninjas would cancel down to Watts. I did a rough mental calculation of the value in my head and thought for a moment I had finally hit on the answer, or rather, the question, the ultimate question. Turns out my maths was slightly out, rather than 40.6W, I was thinking. "How many Watts in a Pirate Ninja?" "Forty Two".
The last answer from Chris though, I could listen to these guys FOR DAYS !
"I'm gonna help you today. I'm actually a pilot but.." 😂
"I'm sure we can fly this thing!" :D
Still disappointed there was no "Am I missing an eyebrow" line when he blew himself up with the gas early on in the movie.
+Balc0ra's Gaming hehe Im quite attached with that quote myself, but I think they made the right choice in cutting it out. I mean he can clearly see his own face through the monitor so making that remark is not only too obvious of a joke but would detract from the actual purpose of his log entries by turning them into stand up comedy bits.
I love how both Andy and Chris stop being interviewees and start in on Adam :)
Gotta love this talk. No need for flashy titles. Everyone is down to earth and legit.. tangents here and there.. you don't feel like they were restricted by time or anything. Very top notch!
Chris Hadfeild, what a wonderful guy. God bless that man.
I don't normally post comments on TH-cam but I was glued to my screen for 57.07minutes what a great episode
I was thrilled to indirectly get a mention from Adam since I was one of the people close enough to the Arclight Hollywood cinema to get a bunch of detail photos of the surface EVA suit to put on the RPF. This was a great talk and like a lot of people here are saying, I could listen to Chris Hadfield talk about anything and be riveted.
23:40 I think every person that wants to be an astronaut needs to listen to that story.
The Martian and Chris Hadfield. My two material loves.
The Martian episodes have been my favorite and this was an awesome cherry on top.
Being a red-blooded Canadian guy and a former pilot, naturally I have unlimited respect for Chris Hadfield and his colleagues in the Canadian Space Agency, NASA and the Russian Space Program.
Chris Austin Hadfield is truly one of those one in ten million kind of guys. He decided he wanted to become an astronaut at the tender age of nine, at a time when becoming an astronaut was an impossibility, because back then there were no Canadian astronauts. His next step was joining the Royal Canadian Air Cadets as a teenager, where he sought after and was awarded a flying scholarship, learning to fly gliders. A few years later he took his next big step toward his ultimate goal, joining the Canadian Armed Forces where he earned his engineering degree at Royal Military College. Later he reached the pinnacle of military flying in Canada, becoming an F/A-18 fighter pilot. While there as part of an exchange program between the RCAF and the United States Air Force and Navy, he attended and graduated from both of their test pilot schools and later obtained a master's degree in aviation systems at the University of Tennessee Space Institute.
As if he hadn't already achieved a lot of success, another fortuitous step toward his goal presented itself: the 1983 formation of the Canadian Space Agency. Six outstanding Canadians became Canada's first astronauts: Roberta Bondar
, Marc Garneau, Steve MacLean, Ken Money, Robert Thirsk and Bjarni Tryggvason. Nine years later in 1992, as Chris Hadfield was leaving the RCAF, another incredible opportunity came his way when CSA announced an additional astronaut positions. Some five thousand talented Canadian applicants were whittled down to just four spots. Once again, Chris Hadfield excelled and was selected, along with three other talented Canadians:
Mike McKay, Dave Williams and the talented woman who would two decades later become Canada's Governor General, Madame Julie Payette.
Hadfield flew into space three times. But before those opportunity were presented to him, he became well respected among his peers at NASA, known for accepting any job he was offered there. On his first spaceflight, STS 74, aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, Chris Hadfield became just the fourth Canadian to be launch into space on November 12th, 1995. On that flight he became the first Canadian to visit the Russian space station, Mir. On his second flight, STS 100, launched on November 30th, 2000, Chris Hadfield became the third Canadian to visit the ISS and the first Canadian to walk in space. On his third and final spaceflight, launched on December 19th, 2012, he rode a Russian Soyuz rocket up for his second and final trip to the International Space Station. During that 144 day space odyssey Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station. In his spare time aboard I.S.S. he became the first astronaut to ever record and perform a song, the late David Bowie's Space Oddity. Hadfield also co-wrote and later performed another song, the latter while still in orbit, entitled IS Somebody Singing, along with Barenaked Ladies front man Ed Robertson and the Wexford Gleeks, an all-women's choral group in Scarborough, Ontario, a part of Greater Toronto.
Is he a great pilot, a brilliant engineer and a tremendous human being? Hell, yeah! Did he also have unbelievable timing? You bet! Did opportunity after opportunity seem to appear as if preordained, just at the right time for him, and for the rest of his Canadian astronaut colleagues? Absolutely. But that doesn't come close o explaining just how amazing this guy is. He has worked very hard AND very smart to obtain his success. Perhaps most critically, Hadfield was fortunate to have a burning desire to obtain his goal of becoming an astronaut at a very early age, a trait common among highly successful people.
What's next for this ultra-successful yet humble Canadian family man? Well, if you'll pardon the pun, for Chris Hadfield I'd say the sky is the limit! Music and performing, doing Interviews, his many television appearances, best-selling books. Perhaps a successful political career is next, like his fellow Canadian astronaut Marc Garneau, the first Canadian to be launched into space. Chris Hadfield remains a passionate spokesman for continued space exploration. Despite all of his many successes, or perhaps beause of them, he is still married to the same woman. He's still the same down-to-earth, respectful Canadian, with evident personal values and an engaging personality. Chris Hadfield for Prime Minister, you may ask? Well, if I've learned anything from researching this incredibly talented Canadian, I'd say this: Whatever you do, don't underestimate his ability to rise to meet every challenge, seize every opportunity within his grasp and set and achieve great goals.
What a great Canadian, eh?
13:56
You can hear Adam's cosplay and propwork enthusiasm here in full force when he says the word "bullshit".
Amazing video! I don't want it to end! It just so good having Adam doing the questions
A small thing I noticed is that Col. Chris Hadfield kept refering to NASA as "we" even when he talked about the Colombia disaster, he wasn't afraid to distance himself from that.
"earth said..." brilliant :)
Ah man I've been waiting all week for this to be uploaded, can't wait to watch it!!
Really great talk, the perspectives and insight Chris brings are fascinating!
Chris Hadfield has such an amazing voice, I wonder if he sings. I would love to hear him sing. His voice is sooooo soothing and sexie.
On his TH-cam channel he has a video of him singing space oddity by David Bowie.
While floating around in the Space Station.
Patricia Rankin You must be living in a cave... 😀
He is a very accomplished guitarist/singer
Great watch. Thank you Tested for putting this together.
Not sure if I should watch this now and be selfish or wait the 7 hours for my wife to get home...
+Sam Jacks The obvious answer is watch it now then watch it with her later.
+Sam Jacks You really have to ask?
+Sam Jacks knowing all those guys you won't feel bad watching it twice!
Man where did you find a wife who would watch this with you? Where can I find one for myself?
It's 2 years later. Do you remember what choice you made?
You guys are awesome! All three of you! Thank you for this amazing inspiration! And great audience with great questions!
Amazing interview about really nice movie. The way Chris can connect pure professionalism with audience in the way that "most will get it", is amazing.
Very nice talk. Seeing Weir talk about his own limitations gives me much respect for him since he is so humble. I like that he is along for the ride and enjoying things without success trying to swell his head. Who knows, maybe he will end up getting involved in some sort of mission control capacity some day (or at least as some form of consultant or support on a future space endeavor). Adam was also the perfect moderator for this. In a sense, these three guys almost form a crew of their own. Each contributed to the "mission success" (i.e. the talk), yet each brought a different skill set and knowledge base to the table to "work the problem".
The commander’s answer at the end was great - you can tell he’s really the astronaut’s astronaut!
Absolutely amazing watch, I so wish I had seen it when it was put up, but glad I finally did. Thank you Tested crew :)
Dear Americans, Please elect Commander Hadfield as your president, humans don't get better than him...
+Joe MacLeod-Iredale Unfortunately for us, he's a Canadian.
+Dave MacLeay And we didn't get him either...
+vr33m Prime Minister... we don't have a president ;)
omg u guys lololol
great stuff as always guys...its almost like hanging out with your heroes...
The shuttle program lasted a LOT longer than any other American manned space system. Mercury and Gemini lasted 2 or 3 years, Apollo lasted 4, STS ran for decades.
This interview is awesome. I swear The Martian unearthed an inner space geek in me I didn't know existed but now I can't get enough.
I saw this come up on my TH-cam Uploads today and ran out to see the movie so I could watch this show.
Regal Cinemas, really nice!!
Pretty sure Chris Hadfield is the closest I've ever felt to having a hero.
@50:30 predicts but the actual date is 27 May 2020 with SpaceX and NASA's astronauts Bob and Doug.
12:55 Chris probably remembering every spacesuit he's ever seen Adam in, followed by the Suit-up procedure for that one 2001 suit he slipped into. He confirms it all, nods, then comes back.
It's (i guess you can call it) Cute how adam spoke about a compact easy-to-put-on spacesuit, now in 2018 we have the superb Boeing and SpaceX suits!
Nasa: You better leave that man behind and get back to earth...
Chris: get up here and make me. What are you gonna do get the space police?
I still haven't gotten the chance to see the Martian film but the book was fantastic and this talk was amazing!
I love watching and listening to the book back to back.....Every time I listen and watch this story I catch something else. About to watch it again.... followed by listening to it......for the 8th time.
This was absolutely fantastic! I loved every minute of this talk..
what would be wrong with a 6-hour version of The Martian movie?
Nothing in principle, but it would be a hard sell for a movie theater release. Had it been presented as a miniseries, it could easily by five times that duration, but that would be a different presentation altogether.
Guys there is a real life Astronaut setting next to you . lol I would be too excited to talk .
Great chat.

Could watch this for days, more please!
This was awesome! Thank you so much for this!
Thanks again to Chris Hadfield for sharing his experiences with us all!
Hadfield, I’m pretty sure you gave a speech at my week at space camp a few years back!
Awesome! Thank you, all!
"spacex wont have manned vehicles until at least 2017"
meanwhile musk is launching cars into space...
And 3 grain silos flew
Awesome talk, I really enjoyed it!
Andy's coffee was EXTRA strong :))
They support each other great with their questions.
ermagawd this is an awesome talk, thank you.
Awesome chat, good movie, great book!
Perhaps I cadaver go! 1:16. Strange that they don't use clip-on mikes. The sound is excellent, however.
At 18:20 They could cover hand rails with soft plastic to avoid metal snags. Chris is a great guy. I love his rendition of Major Tom(other video)
21:15 Dandruff is something to avoid!
Will we ever get to Mars? The food supplies alone would weigh an enormous amount.
Great discussion...I really enjoyed it
Wonderful! A document I can reference when telling people the radiation problems are show-stoppers for manned Mars missions for the foreseeable future. (Edit: watch at 33:15) I don't like it either, but that's what we have to accept. It's wonderful to have NASA and The Martian author both publicly admitting this.
Not wanting to be a party-pooper, I want to thank everyone involved in making a science fiction movie that gets as much of the science right as it can. I'll happily continue to support this trend by buying 3D IMAX tickets to all such movies. Thanks all!
+Melinda Green
"...A document I can reference when telling people the radiation problems are show-stoppers for manned Mars missions..."
I am not so sure. As the old cliche goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention." I would be shocked if new technologies could not substantially reduce (but not eliminate) the radiation challenge of a long duration voyage to Mars or maybe a near Earth asteroid.
-If we chose to return to the Moon, valuable solutions may be reached about how to cope with the radiation hazards of space.
-Find a very small asteroid, hollow it out and use its interior for most of your in-flight operations? (There might even be usable water hidden within the asteroid.)
-Coupled with an exterior shielding of water and other materials, perhaps generate a huge magnetic field around your spacecraft to deflect cosmic rays and hazardous radiation from the Sun?
Nicholas Hylton
The moon is still within the Earth's protective zone so that doesn't count. Living inside asteroids is fine but you can't use them as spaceships because of the absurd energy required to push them around. Same for any sort of material shielding. Magnetic shielding only works against charged particles and again would require enormous amounts of energy. If you somehow find enough energy for any of the above, you're better off just traveling lighter and faster. Once there however it's a life lived almost entirely underground. We have a pretty good idea what we're up against and currently know of no reasonable solutions and can't gamble that we'll figure something out something entirely new.
The Moon resides within the Earth's magnetosphere? Only a fraction of the time actually. On Earth's day facing side, solar radiation pressure compresses it to only 63,000 km - with the Moon orbiting well beyond at 384,000 km. On the night side, the Moon spends only about 6 days traversing the magnetotail.
None of the suggestions I mentioned are _the_ answer. Not by a long shot. Just concepts I have heard bandied about over the years. They all have issues that make them technically difficult or impractical at present.
As for living underground, that is a strong possibility. Constructing lunar or martian bases underneath soil may offer the protection needed to make surface exploration viable.
_"We have a pretty good idea what we're up against and currently know of no reasonable solutions and can't gamble that we'll figure something out something entirely new."_
I think you are not giving human ingenuity enough credit. In a little over a century, we have gone from hypothetical 'atoms' and 'germs' to medical devices that use antimatter for non-invasive diagnoses.
What's your hurry? Mars is not going to disappear any time soon. Scientists and engineers will continue to 'work the problem' in incremental steps.
+Nicholas Hylton Perhaps I'm wrong about the general safety of the Earth-Moon system, but at least moon colonists would be able to safely make surface excursions during the times when the Moon is within the Earth's magnetosphere. Mars colonists will have no such luxury. Sure, some technological breakthrough can always surprise us, but not all breakthroughs are equally likely. For example, the Apollo capsule development was started before they had developed a booster capable of lifting it. That was a gamble, but a fairly safe one because the solution space was well understood. In this case we'd be betting on a fundamental breakthrough in physics, and no sane person would commit hundreds of billions of dollars on such a gamble. And that's just to get you there and back safely. You'd still need to live underground for all but a total of about one month out of your life, which is not what most people imagine when they consider living on Mars.
I'm certainly in no hurry to get men to Mars. I'd much rather keep sending robots because they'll return so much more science per dollar. I'm just saying that I feel that anybody expecting to see men on Mars before 2040 are likely to be disappointed.
During the Apollo landings the astronauts were able to make safe EVAs while outside of earth's magnetosphere. The brief protection offered by the magnetotail of earth wouldn't be anywhere near enough to protect lunar colonists long-term. A real solution would be to build a lunar base underneath a layer of lunar soil, so as to absorb incoming GCRs. That way, the astronauts could spend most of their time protected from dangerous dosages of radiation, only spending a little bit of time per day on EVA activities so as to minimize radiation exposure.
The same procedure could be used on mars - build the base under the martian soil. Sure, excavation would complicate construction a bit, but if we can get to mars with humans in the first place then we can damn well dig a trench. Living on mars wouldn't be too much of a problem radiation-wise. It would be the time spent in transit to mars and back that would be the real show-stopper. And, even then, "show-stopper" may not be all that accurate. Sure, their radiation exposure would be much higher than that of a normal human on earth, and it would increase their risk of cancer in the future drastically, but I'm sure many astronauts would say that it was worth the risk. Exploration is inherently dangerous. If we ever wish to make any real progress, we can't be afraid to push the envelope of what's possible. If scurvy stopped all sea-fairing expeditions in the age of European expansionism, then Columbus wouldn't have stumbled across North-America. Similarly, I doubt we'll let radiation stop us on our way to Mars.
There should be more views for this talk.
Awesome video Adam and team, really enjoyed that
adam is the biggest prop nerd on the planet and i love it
15:00 i wasn't so much concerned about pressure as, why did they have that much duck tape? it's like when they have control panel lights marked "self destruct" - they anticipated a self destruct? they knew two hundred rolls of tape would be needed....
I'm oddly comforted that Mr Hadfield didn't know the name of the Boeing crew module.
I love the wind screens and xlr cables
damn, this is one great talk
I would just like to say thanks for remaking the audio book with Wil Wheaton reading the book.
i wish they had shown what he typed back when NASA told him to watch his language
Awesome time geeking out!
This is such a great video!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!
great talk..time well spent!!
21:49 andy was: now i will that put in my next book :)
Did he just gave away the year? Holy! I was preparing myself to run the simulations and now he just drops the bomb on stage? :-)
+Thomas Oppenhoff (Lochkarte) The Movie was set in 2035 (which was even stated in the movie somewhere, although a bit hidden, but it's there).. you can still try to figure out what year the book is set in
+Thomas Oppenhoff (Lochkarte) I was gasping too when he said it. But we still don't know the date :)
+Thomas Oppenhoff (Lochkarte) He's given the actual year and date, actually, the time of launch iirc, on his talk with Google, he even had a projection screen that shows the simulation he wrote.
+Jeppe Morgenthaler Actually we do know the date. Its simple subtraction from Thanksgiving to Sol 1 to Launch day. Also he has already stated what it was.
+aaron4820 in that Google talk he didn't mention the year. he was showing the simulation software and talked about the specific needs of his storyline but said the year is going to be a quiz some day.
I find it funny Adam said he’d like to go near orbit. A couple years later he did
This was so interesting, wow. I wish this type of thing had come out when I was a kid, I´d be hooked. I am hooked but too old to study astrophysics now :( I wish.
wow...loved that interview.
I started with Space Oddity cover video, after 3 hours, i ended here o.o
Beyond family and friend these are three of my favorite people in the world.
Well that was a good watch. And no Google ads.- Double Bonus points.
