Adam stands, puts mic haphazardly on chair; Andy stands up (stepping on the mic cable) then remembers he needs to not take the mic with him; Chris stays seated, turns the mic off, places it on the stand, and visually inspects where he'll be placing his feet when he stands. One of these three is an astronaut.

10 years later and after the PHM hype I am back for this talk.

It amazes me how Chris Hadfield can make everything he talks about super interesting, I'm sure he could talk about a plastic bag for hours and I would be riveted. I love this guy!

Hadfield is the only one who put his mic back on the stand. "That equipment has to be stowed correctly."

13:00 Chris "Did I leave the stove on?" 13:10 "No I didn't ok good."

"I came up with my own little kernel of bullshit physics that enables faster than light travel." Quote of the century.

Hearing Hadfield talk about ownership of your vessel is something I can associate with. As a pilot, I try to always remember two things: When there is a disagreement, the guy in the seat that is not moving at 460kts is probably right, but, if it comes down to it, controllers don't die in the crash.

Chris Hadfield has done more for space exploration than all movies about space . Rarely does a person meet and exceed the hype .

Chris Hadfield needs to be part of the Tested team.

I appreciate that he takes blame for the things he got wrong, but doesn't take blame for the things the movie did wrong.

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.

Chris Hadfield is a great spokesman for why we need the space program. His passion and excitement is infectious.

I got to read the book before seeing the movie, and saying that, I can say I would have happily sat through a 6 hour movie to have the entire book included :)
What were almost life-ending problems Mark faced on Mars in the book, were sort of just inconveniences in the movie, because of how long it would take to show everything he had to do.
But some of us nerds out there would watch a full length version of the book.

Adam's personality is just the best fit for this. Awesome talk.

@AttilaTheHun333333 10 years ago

I could listen to Chris Hadfield the whole day. His stories, the sense of humor and his voice...just perfect! What a great guy!

@swsephy 10 years ago

Oh man this was great. I could listen to these three talk all day.

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".

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".
