“Evan, I’m the commander of a spaceship. I’m busy up here.”
Such a cool sentence
@@randomguy-jd8su i think evan is his son name
"Commander of a spaceship" is the coolest title. How many people on Earth can even say that?
Andy the gamer it is his son because you know you can send messages to them

He is the luckiest man on (and off) Earth for 2 reasons:
1: He's an astronaut.
2 (more extraordinarily): His wife actually likes his facial hair
His moustache is powerful
legend has it his moustache has its own brain
pianostar 456 it is a bit of luck. Getting chosen is super rare.
Also born in a country with a good space agency or a partnership with nasa.

Astronauts are actors and we never went to the moon. Don’t be so ignorant

He is actually one of those people that was asked when he was a kid "what do u want to be when you grow up?"
"An astronaut!"
And became one 😂
So true!

Teachers be like: “impossible”
He be like: “improbable”

@@locroyal4400 good for you
Fighter pilot, test pilot, engineer, astronaut, musician... safe to say this is the most interesting man in the world!
Fluorine Uranium Carbon Potassium do you think he drinks Dos Equis?
Nah I dont think so. But he's definitely super cool
And an engineer too.
Photographer as well. His pictures are amazing.

The bob ross of space
Their voices are so similiar
The waste of space more like.
Mick Ronson you a waste of space
Combine those... Bob Ross - Boss!!
Did u mean bob ross of lower earth orbit ?
I want a movie about this guy
Exactly
👌👌👌❤️🧡💛💚💜💖😄😄😄😄
Definitely need a documentary on his life. Dude is such a badass.
He is the movie. You can't movie a movie
His book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, is inspiring.
*”the mustache stays.” what a legend.*
I like it. Its handsome.
Big PP
He still wears his watch like he's in zero G :D
What do you mean?
no idea why they have it loose like that, but he had it loose in space, probably for safety or comfort. Here on earth it makes no sense to have it loose, but hes probably SUYUZ to that he keeps it like that
@@Klosterhasi seems like preference, some people like to wear them loose some like me want then to stay solid on the wrist.
@@Klosterhasi Suyuz 😂
@@Klosterhasi lol.. I don't like wearing watch, so when i have to, i wear it loose..
I love Chris Hadfield, we need more humans like him
He's one of the very few people I consider a personal hero.
@@trxnqualyzed8719 not with that attitude
More polished liars...? Don't we have enough?
Jack your Canadian aye i am
Chris Lantos lemme guess ur a flat earther
So emotional the way he says “she was so beautiful that day, it was a good day” it’s HIS day graduating but he still remembers her glow of joy. You know he couldn’t have done any of it without her,
Chris was/is a
Air force pilot
Astronaut

And musician 🤘🤘🤘
And a musician
Is a legend!
And a farmer lol
Role model
He’s a typical Canadian.
He’s nice, lovely, cheerful, polite and sweet!
@Blazing_Griffins Well I strongly agree. I am a Canadian and I know a lot of nice, lovely, cheerful, polite and sweet people. Sure, there's some cranky folk out there, but people are generally good.
Leo Di and awesome. Don’t forget awesome!
And apparently gives his wife mustache rides so great that she refuses him to ever shave that magic face hair.
...and he's a living lie. But hey, nobody's perfect. :-)
Have you ever seen a hockey fight?
Step 1: Know exactly what you wanna do at the age of 9.
I recently found a drawing of a rocket that I made when I was 3 years old.😂
I did
@@9Hofje the next step is to make a prototype out of macaroni
@@JavveRinne I have a painting of Atlantis the spaceshuttle that stands in Florida (kennedy space center) because I went there 1 time and I live on the other side of the world (this was the best day of my life). And my teacher loved space and rockets, so we could talk hours about it. And I made a model rocket (if this makes sense😂) that was also Atlantis. But now I just want to go to space. And I think all day about it.🌌👩🏼🚀
@@JavveRinne 😂😂
Can see him trying to avoid saying "Houston, we have a problem" 😂
You can't say that unless it's a really, really bad
I noticed that too
Agreed
judging by the way he spoke abt his life
6:10 "That's Dave... he's a pilot, software engineer and a medical doctor." Uh huh.
Hahaha i feel it bro
Astronauts usually are a bunch of things..I stopped reading about their achievements long ago to preserve my self esteem:)
@@ozgurkaratas6450 same
That’s not that uncommon for successful people to have accomplished a lot. Think about how many medical people you know who also fly. I know multiple of them.
Lisa Eichler-Johnson hmm you must be a successful person too if you know many medical multi-successful people. or sick and constantly hospitalized. :/
The end, where he says Bowie finally got to go to space. That got me man, goosebumps. Literally.
Same...also, the fact that he never got a chance to meet Bowie made me kind of sad. That must have been so cool for Bowie to get that phone call and then hear his song being sung in space. That must have felt great when Bowie said he loved it! I’m so glad his son insisted on video!
Same, caught space oddity feelings in my eye with this phrase
All of this is just awesome, gosh. QuQ
Nobody has ever been to space as it does not exist only in the minds of deluded people.
@@mickronson7578 Could you please go somewhere else and let us like space?
Bowie went to heaven when he died. This prick will be lucky if he gets there.
Columbia was tragic and truly heart breaking. In a slightly biased fashion I'd like to remind people of Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin to go to space who also sadly perished with Columbia. She was one of my first role models growing up as an Indian kid seeing someone achieve something so amazing internationally. The Columbia disaster made me cry as a kid and I will never forget that day.
Mighty respect to her and the entire crew of Columbia and I am so glad Cmd. Hadfield brought it up since it rarely gets mentioned anymore. We should always remember the sacrifices that have been given for humanity.
Ankit Sharma cheers buddy. Sad day for all.
She knew what was about to happen, and smiled so bravely.
Respect to her man!
How did it blow up?
A true hero for us humans! Wow. Not being able to see while you're in space, it could have been overwhelming!
Chris is still my favorite astronaut and i’m doubtful that’ll change
Please tell me it hasn't changed
He is only astronaut you know apart N.A. and you cant lie about that
I agree
Oh yes
Could you imagine the bed time stories he can tell is grandchildren.
Out of this world bedtime stories.
He lives near me, and one day I walked in to wal-Mart and he was standing there and I yelled out it’s Chris Hadfield and my sister was like who? He heard me and turned around and took a photo with me and my sister. I love that photo it’s on my computer I’ll share it later :)

Ismail Alptekin and I got to meet Mike Fox at a Tesco’s in Cambridge 🙄 cool but I’d rather meet Chris
He's done so many awesome things yet he's still being as humble as possible
I don't think there is such a thing as an arrogant astronaut.
The view of earth will humble anyone
CockatooDude although simple, I really like this comment. How could they be, seeing such an open universe first hand, how large Earth is.
@@Shirvani28 Right? It makes sense they'd be pretty humbled by that.
That's Canada for you ;)
When my daughter was born, there were difficulties in birth and we stayed in hospital for a week. I had recently received Chris's autobiography as a gift and decided that whilst I was cuddling her, I would read it to her.
Now that she is 6, and we have found out she is autistic, we have also found that she loves watching his videos, just watching him floating around in space whilst doing things that we do on earth.
Chris's videos aren't just inspiring to people, they are stimulating for some.
A true hero for us humans! Wow. Not being able to see while you're in space, it could have been overwhelming!
Cult of personality.
@@glennryan646 nobody will have one for you thats for sure
@@bakedstreetyt Glad of that. Immense punishment for those that leads others to falsity.
@@glennryan646 lemme guess flat earther or don't believe in the moon landing.
What an incredibly impressive individual. I could hear him talk for hours.
i would do too
This man surely ate his vegetables...
When he said “David Bowie finally got to fly in space,” I got tears in my eyes. Miss that man.
Chris is an example of what a human being should be, curious, intelligent humble and a fantastic Canadian. Hope to meet you one day Chris.........come out to where it all started: the glider field. I’m inviting you to Sosa glider airport for a flight. My treat!
Hans Juergensen
Chris Hadfield , you are awesome 😃
Drakeforce I agreee, he’s awesome!
I love listening to this guy! I've literally watched every video I can find of him, I wish so badly there were more of him on the ISS!
This man has lived quite the life. Love how humble he's managed to stay

Legend! If you love Chris Hadfield, you should definitely take his MasterClass. I just finished it, it was incredibly cool and so detailed.
How much does his class cost?

More info please!
Pls more info

This man's a universal treasure. Glad to see he and so many other astronauts receive the praise they're well due right now.
Someone: Theres no such thing as a cool boomer

Wow! you are chris hadfield?
he's very close to being a boomer, but still gen x
Bro, if he says to me:"shut up zoomer", I would say:"thank you master"
@@santividal9387 u guys r both SO funny
@@thebeesrgay if the skin flaps, its a boomer
His interviews never cease to amaze me. What an incredible life, man & teacher. His love for teaching science & new perspectives is always evident. He is such a great story teller as well.
He seems so... Canadian. I love it haha
i have been watching all of his videos for the past couple of days and i can't stop because he is so awesome i swear to god
Him and Massimino.
So nice of him that he mentioned the Kalpana Chawla incident . The first Indian women to go up in space but sadly lost. So nice of him to acknowledge the mistake and accept it that we failed those people
The shuttle failed two crews and came close to failing many more.
I’ve seen countless videos about this man and I could listen to him speak forever. He truly makes you feel the emotions and visuals of what it is like being able to travel to space.
Likewise
Chris hadfield is literally my favorite human
Man you are more badass than I imagined. Thank you for everything you have done!!!
I just added this man to my dinner guests wish list. He's such an amazing interesting humble yet super intelligent man! I am amazed!!
What an inspirational man. And so eloquent and charismatic!
OMG!!! What an amazing interview... I cried out of emotion when you were telling the story about the song... how proud he talks about his son, how proud he talks about Bowie loving the video and how in that way was in space!!!!
I forwarded this to my grandson, soon to be 12. I want him to always know he can do anything!! Thank you!
THE ONE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:15 : "a pilot, a software engineer, but also a medical doctor" ... How???
Study?
wyclef O'hara
Most astronauts study medicine incase of emergencies
they usually get a bachelor's in engineering and then go to med school. after finishing med school, they complete their residency and then train for piloting.
He's one of my heroes. Respect, Commander.
the brown girl in the crew who died in 2003 was an Indian ..her name was Kalpana chawla . India is so proud of her.....❤
awkward sincebirth my university dorm is named after her
inspiration for me
how wholesome
This is such a weird comment
I went to the elementary school that he did and the highlight was when he did a video call with the school while he was in space.
I want to go to your school.
Chris Hadfield is one of the most extraordinary humans of all time and I enjoy the fact someone like him exists
Chris Hadfield is probably the most humble and best guy to ever hang out with! Wish I could meet him!
When people question the value & purpose of space exploration, I quote this guy. “It made me believe impossible things can happen. When you see your kid playing in a box, let them dream”. 👍👍👍
One of the coolest person ever!!! I would totally see a movie based on his life :)
I would like to know more about his wife too
As so many others have said, we need more human beings like Chris Hadfield. Thanks for the video.
Whenever Chris says "the world" I imagine him outside the Earth and staring right down at it and I feel incredibly small.
This guy is like my second dad
I had a dad for a month Karen took me away :c

I'm not well-versed in David Bowie but that story was moving af

He is brilliant yet so humble and thankful. Love it.
Very humble indeed.
Absolute LEGEND! Cmdr. Hadfield is a true Canadian (and world) hero. Proper role model for people today.
Andrew Boundy I feel like the hip could’ve wrote a song about him
Only a Boss will say “interesting” about being blind in space listening to the air hissing out of your spacesuit!
Astronauts have a tendency to call terrifying things "interesting"
Can't really panic after preparing for 4 years
That's why they like to send test pilots into space. They can remain calm and make good decisions under extreme pressure. These men and women are extraordinary.
He radiates BDE
Maximum chill!
I can never get enough of this guy. Hard to find truly passionate people in the world today
Me: *gets a 95% on their math test and is proud of themselves*
*Looks at this guy and his accomplishments*
That 95 on your math test could be the start of something big! Keep in mind that some of the most successful people in the world didn't even graduate high school. Dream, then do everything you can to accomplish that dream.
Better than what I can get
This guy really is a living legend I'm so glad we get to watch him
Chris is such a great icon for Canadians and really all of humanity!
this has to be one of the most inspiring videos i’ve ever watched
he was my idol, i never wanted to become an astronaut but chris is such an inspiring person but when i heard that he retired, i cried my eyeballs out, chris hadfield is still my idol and i admire him! Chris is probably someone who would be such an amazing person to talk to.
I just am shocked on his retirement and it did make me sad , but its his decision, and if it makes him happy, i’ll be happy! Thanks if you read this far.
The most interesting man in the world. Stay thirsty, my friend.
ZefTillDeath intercepting russians in F18s, space walks, NORAD. He really is lol
Wired has some great videos, but this is by far the best. Well done. Also: “If you ever see your son playing inside a box, let him dream” Chris Hadfield. ...priceless.
“He finally got to fly in space” that got me
What a hero, and seems like a great person.
Chris is downright amazing, he has accomplished so many things in one lifetime that a normal person would need 10 to do. Any interview with him is just a pleasure
He comes across as the most gracious person in the world. Massive respect 👍
You didn't have a mustache as a kid?!?! Disappointing
😂😂😂😭
Sed tymes
He just phtoshopped it out. It's nothing to be worried about.
I could listen to Chris tell stories all day.
Imagine if they had gotten that crew to check the damage on their wing when they were in space and they’d realised then that there was no way they would ever make it back through the atmosphere. How horrific.
Sad isnt it 🙁
That may be why the ultimately didn't. I can't imagine living with that question in your mind though, it looks like it still weighs heavy on him.
Possibly could've done an emergency rendezvous
@@dustintaber yea, give them a few hours, easy save.
10,000 tears...
Love when you get to learn about your hero, when you didn’t even know they were you hero in the first place! And I’m thirty years old!
You really should go through pictures and remind yourself of the special times in life - thank you Chris Hadfield. I never met Bowie either but I saw him at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh - June 28th, 1983..
I LOVE this guy. Chris Hatfield is my FAVORITE, featured astronaut in these videos. His voice inflection, movement, and ability to tell stories keeps me engaged.
You are such an asset to your country and your career. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
National treasure yet humble and relatable man. We love you Commander Hadfield.
He took Bowie where we never thought imaginable, Chris Hadfield is just so cool!!
I wasn't expecting him to encourage people to sit down and go through their own pictures. What a nice, grounded human being.
How can you thumb down this video?! Seriously, Chris Hadfield is such an inspiration !
*"so i'm like OK so a saturday afternoon when i was SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE, i set this up."* lmao this reaction tho hsksjsk
He’s so intelligent and brilliant, yet he always makes sure to describe every situation in a way that anyone can understand exactly what he’s talking about. Thank you Chris!
He's so nice he's like the dad in a TV show that everyone loves
I met Chris Hadfield at his book signing in Las Vegas. He is an International Superstar! This is an excellent video!
8:59 I can't believe he didn't say "Houston, we have a problem"
How can you NOT love this humble guy...
It's amazing how insanely educated the astronauts are!
Hearing him speak about all this makes you realise how much is needed in order to fulfil this role...
Chris Hadfield is the boss I wish everyone were like him
Okay, so what HASN’T he done? What a great guy
He hasn’t died
(I’m very happy about that)
he hasn't water skiing over a shark like Fonzie,

@@MrProsident Although, as a solider, albeit an airborne one, I'd find it hard to believe he never shot a gun.
@@MrProsident He most definitely has shot a gun, he was a military officer for a decade before becoming an astronaut
Yo, is this the coolest man universe or am I just High. Or better Yet. I'm floating.
Chris has always been a hero to me. He has inspired many young Americans to live their dream of becoming Astronauts, and showed the importance of space to millions of people. Seeing him sing and play guitar is so wholesome and I'm thankful he was given the opportunity to do so before he ended his space career.
I remember watching Chris hadfeild for the first time now I have watched all his videos 3 times through.
WIRED! Thank you for a such great interview. Chris - you're a legend.
Amazing. His experiences are truly out of this world.
You're an awesome person with great values. So wholesome. You deserve every minute of space time you've ever wanted
