Science Friday today: Chris Hadfield’s Lessons From Life in Orbit

[Scuba]

Very interesting discussion with astronaut Chris Hadfield and Ira Flatow, everything from the movie "Gravity" to "being on the edge of what's possible" to Elon Musk to his take-off on David Bowie's "Space Oddity" (see below).

Audio not yet up, but this will be worth checking back for later.

Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield, author of the new book An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, has flown three space missions, including 144 days on the International Space Station. Hadfield talks about life in zero gravity, his one fear while in orbit, and how he went from test pilot to astronaut.

Watch a revised version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," recorded by Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station:

1. his version of this song and the video keep haunting me... almost afraid to watch it again though I

love it. But it haunts. in a really intensely beautiful way.

Thanks for the links, the interview looks interesting.
