    Q: Where does Chris Hadfield live? A: "I live on earth. Wasn't always true." Epic humblebrag, right there.
  • @MyHandsRCold
    “I live on Earth... Wasn’t always true” possibly the hardest flex i’ve ever witnessed
  • @HalcyonSerenade
    "In space, tears don't fall." That sounds like an award-winning book title just waiting to happen
  • @BigNavy8175
    I love how someone was that genuinely worried about his well-being that they googled if he was okay
  • @nodive_dj
    Chris: If you get a chance, go on a spacewalk Me: Oh yeah no worries i’ll check me schedule see if i can fit it in
  • @christoph..
    Wait.... Chris Hadfield was technically an astronaut in the ocean
  • @claudine1928
    A highly accomplished man, Intelligent, funny, down to earth, and knows how to explain science in understandible facts. Love it! We need much more people like him.
  • You know you’re an astronaut when you start using “Earth” as to where you are at the moment.
  • @Ivys991
    “Take a space walk! When you have a chance” You know what Chris, I think I just might
  • @kiphowland8826
    Chris: “Everything just floats...nothing sags.” Me: Looks down
  • @PixelMochi
    The way he described being in space is the most mystifying thing I've ever heard. <3
  • @slavojdyrdek
    "Panic doesn't help, especially when you're alone in space" That might be the scariest thing I've ever heard.
  • "Why is Chris Hadfield a hero?" "He's not." Then he goes on to explain why he is a hero without even realizing it.
  • @-8_8-
    I love this guy. Could have talked for hours about those personal questions but instead treats it like there's a timer so he can move on to fun stuff. "Humans. I went to space with humans." Thanks Chris. Keep hitting us with that global perspective. We really need it.
  • @AltroG
    25:19 Question: Where do astronauts hangout? C. Hadfield: "At the space-bar." That joke was actually flawless.. or is it just me...
  • @Sacorian
    When you’re 8 and 1/2 minutes in and you only just realise that this is an almost 40min autocomplete interview. Happy days.
  • @jawalyn_
    chris hadfield: "so if you're doing a spacewalk, clean your visor really carefully." me (a college student majoring in nothing to do with space): "got it."
  • Chris Hadfield is such a wonderful communicator. 40 minutes gone in a flash!
