Imbibe three or four times as much water as you think you need and skip at least one, if not two meals, when you are travelling. You should arrive at your destination feeling slightly hungry and your digestive system reset.
Chris Hadfield
Anticipating problems and figuring out how to solve them is actually the opposite of worrying: it's productive.
Chris Hadfield
My favourite city is Moscow, because of its history, which I find fascinating. As I learned to speak Russian, it made it even more interesting.

Preparation is not only about managing external risks, but about limiting the likelihood that you'll unwittingly add to them. When you're the author of your own fate, you don't want to write a tragedy. Aside from anything else, the possibility of a sequel is nonexistent.
Chris Hadfield
It's like being a newborn, this sudden sensory overload of noise, color, smells and gravity after months of quietly floating, encased in relative calm and isolation. No wonder babies cry in protest when they're born.

What's the next thing that's going to kill me? is a mantra for pilots and astronauts.

You can't change the bricks, and together, you still have to build a wall.

So without that Canadian invention we were grounded. And so that was a really important and key part of the mission and Canadians should take real pride in it.
Chris Hadfield
As I have discovered again and again, things are never as bad (or as good) as they seem at the time.
Chris Hadfield
Sweat the small stuff. Without letting anyone see you sweat.
Chris Hadfield
To me, it's not about being anywhere, but being able to change my perceptions and experience something new.
