We’re thrilled to bring you our final episode with the legendary Chris Hadfield, and what a way to go out! We dive deep into the mind of someone who decided at age 10 to become an astronaut and actually pulled it off. Chris shares incredible stories that’ll blow your mind - like intercepting Soviet bombers on Christmas Eve during the Cold War, only to hear “Merry Christmas” crackle over the radio from the Russian pilots. We explore his fascinating philosophy on risk (spoiler: he’s not the adrenaline junkie you might expect), hear about the gut-wrenching reality of losing friends in the Columbia disaster, and discover what it’s really like to dock with a space station that looks like a “dragonfly in the cosmic darkness”. From defending the space shuttle against critics to explaining why some risks are absolutely worth taking, Chris delivers the kind of stories that remind you why exploration matters. Pure gold from start to finish.
