    There's an astronaut saying: In space, "there is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse." So how do you deal with the complexity, the sheer pressure, of dealing with dangerous and scary situations? Retired colonel Chris Hadfield paints a vivid portrait of how to be prepared for the worst in space (and life) -- and it starts with walking into a spider's web. Watch for a special space-y performance.

      you know many people have made similar comments about Chris Hadfield exalting his demeanor and ability to explain and connect with other's as well as his intellect, what really floored me once was in a interview where basically this same commentary was being made about him by the interviewer and he essentially said very humbly "you have to understand that as a Captain on the International Space Station they select for this".
      Which as a concept is obvious of course, but then you really have to understand there not just looking for Intelligence and fitness, they filter for a whole host of characteristics that would best help someone lead others in extremely stressful and dangerous situations while still having excelled at the educational background all Astronauts are required to have.

      Mind you his message was not necessarily to throw all fears to the wind, but rather to understand where the fear comes from, inform yourself on the actual danger relative to that fear, prepare yourself for said danger, and then with all of that knowledge and understanding, move forward towards your goals.
      At least that was my understanding of it.

    Chris Hadfield was the celebrity Chairman for the United Way one year and went around to different communities for fundraising purposes. Some people I know heard he was coming to our area, and after talking to the organizers they were able squeeze in a drive-by for the group in an already busy schedule. But it turned into so much more when he got out of the car shook hands with everyone, posed for a few pictures and chatted with them for over 1/2 an hour. A memory that those people still treasure to this day.

      I don't think it's _that_ much worse: australianmuseum.net.au/spider-facts
      The Redback seems closely related to the Black Widow spider (what Chris was talking about). We have the Funnel Web spider which actually can cause you serious problems, but are rare and the last death was in 1981 after antivenoms were made available.
      The majority of spider webs I see are from completely harmless spiders. Going for a mountain bike ride around here involves going through at least a few Jewel Spider (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austracantha) webs, and often not finding the spider in your hair until you stop or it crawls over your sunnies :)

    Loved the talk, particularly the "fear not" message at the end. Though it should be obvious rationally, emotionally it is not, that conquering fear is a prerequisite for greatness. Which means managing it, not denying its existence. I think there are few areas of endeavor where this is more true than in space exploration. Good news? It can be learned.
