Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s 3 rules for going into space | Big Think

Nice. No bullshit about "just set your mind to it and you can do anything you like". Just practical, grounded subjects. I approve.

[@chrislanphier7764]

If only honestly, I’m really interested in the space program just not very sure how to get started.

[@katiegilson5831]

Chris Lanphier Simply research and study. You gotta be wicked smart to be an astronaut. You could always research people in your local area who would know about how to get involved with it. Find mentors and people who can help you move forward in that field. You can absolutely do it!

[@InterplanetaryLuis]

Same but for the whole day

[@Silkendrum]

Given that most people can't carry out a New Year's resolution, the candidate pool is immediately automatically reduced.

[@THEBATMAN28AHH]

Silkendrum I can happily say I completed my new years resolution. Which was asking this girl out. We went out for about 6 months and then she broke up with me in June. I haven't felt right since. But at least i succeeded at my resolution.

[@captainshipman7377]

George Rios Dang bro I’m sorry. Mind telling my why she decided to break it off?

[@WarriorBane]

Good for me

[@richardkallio3868]

It's also reduced because many people hate to study math and science. A humanities, business, or social science degree won't get you to space.

[@RobbieFPV]

"Don't drag your bag, carry your bag" It's the simple things like these that make *ALL* the difference. Really.

RobbieFPV - But my bag has wheels.

Still, carry it.

[@2manyIce]

I would add a number four: Can you live with people? You're in a spaceship, you can't just walk out until things calm down. And you are a team or you are dead. It is no use to force yourself to just smile and wait for reentry, It maybe months until then. So you have to have a way to live with people (not just along or apart), a way to resolve problems before they get everyone into trouble. And as an afterthough: Can you tell people back home what space travell really means? (like one canadian astronaut I watched on KZbin)

[@dallassegno]

*can you tolerate the smell of farts for months on end?*

[@patientestant]

I have struggled with making decision and sticking with decisions. That is a good skill to have. Mostly I am scared of making a mistake. I'm sure I will get better at it as I gain experience.

[@justacrlon3963]

What s under the flat earth?

[@Bastardschwert]

Sheol

[@NiftyFingers]

Ships disappear below the horizon. Anyone can test this and see that earth isn't flat. I really pity people who can't get over the hurdle of "earth looks flat locally but isn't flat globally". The surface of the earth is a manifold, a 2-sphere. It's a great example of a physical object that can be talked about as a manifold, FOR the reason that it looks flat locally. That's actually part of the definition of a manifold haha. And all these flat earthers saying math is a conspiracy... yet in reality mathematicians agree, yes, the surface of earth LOOKS flat to an observer standing on the surface. The rest of us are just smart enough to figure out the difference between "local" and "global".

Aside from being a fascinating person, Chris Hadfield is extremely grounded (no joke intended, considering he's an accomplished astronaut). He makes complicated things relatable and shared his experience as an astronaut, arguably the most fascinating job ever, with the world so we could share in it with him to a degree. I would love to meet him and have him sign my copy of his book.

I wish it was NASA in schools and businesses recruiting for employment rather than military, though that is where pilots are found for flights. With a national day of celebration to boast past achievements, maybe that would douse all the past military errors and catastrophic timelines(vietnam/middle east). Perhaps transferring a partition of half our annual budget to new endeavors not just up in space but to just make things happen. Anything is possible, space tether attached to the moon since one face is always facing Earth.

[@bearvillebear1468]

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx
