The Moon has given us months, tides and a destination that ever-beckons. It's time we build a rocket and go to stay.
Chris Hadfield
I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice.
Chris Hadfield
People tend to think astronauts have the courage of a superhero - or maybe the emotional range of a robot. But in order to stay calm in a high-stress, high-stakes situation, all you really need is knowledge. Sure, you might still feel a little nervous or stressed or hyper-alert. But what you won't feel is terrified.
Chris Hadfield
Life off Earth is in two important respects not at all unworldly: you can choose to focus on the surprises and pleasures, or the frustrations. And you can choose to appreciate the smallest scraps of experience, the everyday moments, or to value only the grandest, most stirring ones.

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.
Chris Hadfield
Anticipating problems and figuring out how to solve them is actually the opposite of worrying: it's productive.

For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I've been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship.

The rough and ready improvisational quality to life on board the International Space Station is reminiscent of a long trip in a sailboat: privacy and fresh produce are in short supply, hygiene is basic, and a fair amount of the crew's time is spent just on maintaining and repairing the craft.
Chris Hadfield
There's really just one thing I can control: my attitude during the journey, which is what keeps me feeling steady and stable, and what keeps me headed in the right direction. So I consciously monitor and correct, if necessary, because losing attitude would be far worse than not achieving my goal.
Chris Hadfield
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
There is a sunrise or a sunset from space every 92 minutes so there is an incredible amount of beauty to see from up there.
Chris Hadfield
To me, it's not about being anywhere, but being able to change my perceptions and experience something new.
Chris Hadfield
Every single day you're the result of what you did on the days prior.
Chris Hadfield
We are not machines exploring the universe, we are people.
Chris Hadfield
Competence means keeping your head in a crisis, sticking with a task even when it seems hopeless, and improvising good solutions to tough problems when every second counts. It encompasses ingenuity, determination and being prepared for anything.
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
You can't change the bricks, and together, you still have to build a wall.
