navin rathakrishnan being an astronaut, he got to move around the world inside the ISS 2650 times or so. By saying “around the world”, he meant that literally which is kind of funny how casual he said it
All of that speech literally made me cry, when he said that, and the he got to the part when he "surfed" through the earth's aurora, I'm crying, its beautiful the way he describes it
Chris is the perfect example of "Space for Dummies". The way he can "dumb it down" for people that knows nothing on space stuff is amazing. Not a lot of people can do that even lecturers on universities.
Water actually alive water moves and tries to stick together every drop gather with other drops with no gravity it will make form of ball he is correct
I think he’s done enough talks to audiences that are not completely ignorant but obviously not astronaut-level educated (I.E. the majority of people who watch these type of videos) to know what depth he can/needs to go to when explaining things.
This isn't so much dumbing down as relatable for the audience viewing it. Dumbing down implies that people are too stupid to understand so you have to use easy words. Hatfield isn't saying that the big red ball up space is called the earth, he's using broader terms that most people will understand. Like, I teach preschool, and you'd be surprised how many teachers act like they're trying to teach rocks how to walk. You teach at their level, and you'd be surprised at how much they will learn.
It's nearly as if astronauts were chosen for their high intelligence and professionalism and went through rigorous training that most certainly also included public speaking.
@@Qopa Yes I do, thnx. The film makers had very good physics expert advice, so that there would be no reason for such mistakes as Mr. Kowalski's ominous fall. It is almost disrespectful to these experts to claim that they did not even know such simple things. The producer had said that physical deviations are intentional in that movie. So there is no fault at all, because it is a symbolic story with "letting go" as its central theme (watch again and look for letting-go-symbols, both in speech and image, and for arbitrary inconsistencies that indicate dreaming but not reality). That's what Dr. Stone's nightmares look like after she lost her daughter, and she can't deal with that, she can't let go; that's the point. Basically, if it's not one hundred percent clear that a film is supposed to reflect reality, then one should not just assume that it does. You should then allow it to be interpreted. By the way, I can even fly without any aids -- in my dreams. :)
I met Chris Hadfield at an airshow once, when I was a kid. He had a picture in the back of the program, and autographed it for me. In it, he wrote "The Sky Is Not The Limit". I had no idea then, that he would end up commanding the International Space Station & being so accomplished...I was just stoked to get a pilot's autograph at the time. Cool guy for sure :)
The scene in interstellar when they see their crew member and family’s age significantly is so terrifying to know you’ve missed years and decades of life without knowing it.
Except it wasn't "terror! dun dun duhhhnnn". It was the love you feel seeing your children growing up and surviving and seeing the adults they turn in to.
I like how he said he was a representative of 7.8 billion people, not America, not Russia or Japan or Canada, he knows he is a representative of the human race
I took note of that, as well! Like I said, the guy is a Godsend! No biases. No contradictions. Just pure information that all of us on this world will understand!
This guy is like the peak of humanity. Master's degree in aviation systems, fighter pilot for 25 years, became an engineer and astronaut, went on 2 space shuttle missions (including making videos on them), installed the Canadarm 2, and commanded the entire ISS for a short time. Like, you're done. You're basically overqualified for almost any other job on earth after that. He earned his retirement with flying colors.
"You're basically overqualified for almost any other job on earth after that." - Not really. There aren't that many jobs where being e.g. a fighter pilot is all that helpful. Being an engineer is pretty useful and sure he has made a great career, but his skills are not really super versatile.
"I've been around the world 2650 times or so, and I never once could see enough of it". This guy talks sleek and smart about all of the engineering, mechanics, and scientifically complex stuff for a moment; and then hits you with a sucker punch of profound poetic brilliance. What a guy. What a storyteller.
@@NT_1 I love that film too. It's terribly scary! But as far as genuine "space" movies go, I absolutely think that while Interstellar is an absolutely compelling, mind-boggling and truly great fun, it still exists within the shadow of the greatest movie about outer space - 2001: A Space Odyssey. For me, there is no greater film of any genre out there. Oh, and while they are clearly fiction, I also really like a number of the "Star Trek" films. Particularly the first one, and "Star Trek: First Contact".
Wait till the Russians build another space station then their will be a swimming pool onboard. I mean, they have swimming pools inside their Typhoon Class submarines. Sure they are a little small, but still, a swimming pool on a submarine.
@@bibekirig6418 All right, since you have engaged with me in this manner, I would like a five paragraph essay on why I should visit your channel, PLEASE.
This man is doing a great job at commenting on these movies: objective, logical, critical, knowledgeable, straight-headed and they let him talk without interruption, way to do it!
Chris is being very subjective about the movies, him being one of the very few people who actually can, and that's what makes this talk so great. A physicist could tell how movies pan out objectively, but Chris can tell that and so much more.
I like how he doesn’t just say it’s bad, he says it’s inaccurate but still understands the filmmaker has to make it interesting and engaging for the viewer.
So many things in movies are abstracted to some extent so the viewer can understand and so the movie itself can be compelling, not just in space movies but really all kinds. For starters, they only show you the "interesting" parts, and almost never in real time. You have to find a way to get months of preparation and a four day journey down to two hours, so people with no astronaut training and no knowledge of orbital mechanics can cheer at the end of Apollo 13. I still do, 25 years later.
First Man wasn't a movie about space, it was about loss and grief. Did he not catch the main theme? No wonder he didn't get why everyone was so down all the time. Pay more attention to the details you're not so interested in next time Chris! It seems like he only pays attention to the parts in space for most of the films. The theme was loss: Neil Armstrong lost his daughter, collective loss of the other astronaut candidates, Buzz Aldrin's loss of humility, I could go on.
@@slcpunk2740 that's not the point of the video. Chris isn't here to watch the movie to "catch the main theme". He's here to point out the accuracy about space in the films.
As amazing physicists are, they aren't automatically great writers just because they know a lot of the accurate science. You need a good writer for a good story, and often distorting reality becomes necessary. That's why it's called science fiction.
Grandson: "Grandpa Chris, what did you do?" Grandpa Chris: "Well, let me see. I was a test pilot, a Colonel, an astronaut, I commanded a space station. Oh and I did downhill ski races and played rock guitar" That's not a bad resume 😁
@Anestassia Faessler did you literally just take someone elses comment and post it in another comment? I mean, I laughed pretty dn hard, but then 4 seconds later I see the same exact comment LITERALLY the next thread down.
I love how he was extremely honest and unbotheredly destroy some of these space movies. Dude found an opportunity and went ahead, venting out his inner, well hidden, long-time anger for these films. No remorse at all. 😂💀
He wasn't honest, he lied. He said he did a space walk through a Solar Coronal Mass Ejection. Nobody has ever done that, if he did, as he claims, he would have been dead years ago.
Relative to the comet... you're trying to avoid hitting at high speed. I'm a little surprised someone who's resume makes mine look like crap, is picking on this aspect of the movie.
I really love how passionate he became when talking about Peggy Whitson. It really shows how much respect he has for her and really wished her achievements were properly displayed in the female character of Gravity.
I could listen to Chris for days. It’s rare that someone has experienced so much of life and what it is to be a human being, in a literally cosmic sense, and yet remain so relatable. The way he describes seeing the earth, the tone of his voice when recalling a space walk, these things are too profound for words, but he still manages to give some small piece of it to us
Well to the movie's defense, the space crew were earth miners that being forced to go to space in a short amount of time and training, its kinda the point of the movie that they suppose to not having astronaut's intelligence, training, and manners. They were expected to yell most of the time unlike the pilots. Notes: I really really don't like the movie too. LOL
@@rohaverseee Do you know 'Genetically modified Sceptic'? He's one of the warmest Atheists and would never talk down to anyone or anything. I recommend him warmly.
His last bit here made me tear up. Both because his explanation of the feeling is beautifully articulated, but because I was born too early and will never have enough money to afford a trip to space to see it for myself. I imagine the beauty would be overwhelming.
You can feel how Chris loves his job by the way he talks about Space and what's like to be an astronaut. It's contagious. One of the best interviews/reviews I've ever see.
Yes Re loving his job and excited by his experience. If only Neil Armstrong had half of his conversational ability there would be less conspiracies about 1969.
I can only imagine how much living in space can humanize you... 😳 I think there should be some type of therapy that shoots you off into space for a day or so, to really get a sense of what life is about 💞
I love this guy. He seems to take bad science almost personally. Also, I got really jealous when he talked about surfing through the aurora. That must have been the most amazing thing ever.
as someone who was always vaguely angry with Gravity and couldn't really explain why, I didn't know how much my life needed Chris Hadfield totally *obliterating* that movie until this moment
The film has some mistakes, but the reason why the satellite flying past the space shuttle is so slow could be that the space shuttle flies in the same direction but at a not so high speed.
I hate movies like Gravity. Space is so interesting that you could make a really fun and entertaining movie whilst keeping things realistic. Why do movies always insist on dramatising things so much
The way he described surfing on the Earth’s aurora, that was absolutely magical, an experience I’ll never have but felt fantastic just hearing him describe it.
You have been systematically dumbed down to INSTANTANEOUSLY believe everything that scientism tells you!! You INSTANTANEOUSLY believe, memorize and regurgitate while liar Chris Hadfield laughs all the way to the bank!! You deserve it!!
@@ravioliravioligivemethefor3131 youre the type of person to watch spongebob, turn up your nose, and be like "Well Ackshyually, sponges in real life do not talk. This show is scientifically inaccurate."
Just notice how this guy gives credit to everyone. He never says "I" did this or that. Its always "we" or "those people" even says Stanley Kubrick and "his team".. I like Chris Hadfield, hes a real guy
Citizen Mike well that’s because being an Astronaut is a very team oriented thing so because of that he would be much more oriented to refer to everyone in a group. Of course he still deserves the credit.
@@Mgl1206 Honestly Chris Hadfield has kinda transcended his role as just an astronaut...right now especially in interviews like this the spot light is on him and him alone and he still is being humble about his amazing accomplishments....i think thats what the OP was implying
When I was in eighth grade my science teacher had us all write a letter to an astronaut w some basic prompts abt what to say. Idt I put too much effort in tbh, but I wrote to Chris hadfield and I was the only one who got a letter back. Super nice too. Great dude considering there was no incentive to reply
I know I’m a year late, but that makes me so happy! I’m not surprised bc he seems like an incredible guy, but things like that are always heartwarming to hear and it says so much about his character.
Yeah... the problem with technobabble is that it just makes non-experts nod and say “yup, science stuff”, while someone who actually knows what the words mean is listening to absolute gibberish.
@Justin Martin I dunno, personally I'd say being a general in the army or something to that effect; you're in charge of a lot of people's lives and the commands you give don't just affect the people you're giving them out to
I love how he stands up for little girls dreams and says you're not just some girl needing rescuing you can be legendary on your own (awesome hat tip to the most experienced astronaut lady)
I like too how he isn’t like “well she needs to be an empowered woman” as if it’s not okay for a woman to be vulnerable or weak in a movie. He was frustrated that she is supposed to be a competent astronaut and that they wouldn’t panic like that, like an astronaut in general would be trained to keep calm and collected and she just seems like a helpless victim in the scene. It’s kinda a dig on astronauts and their competence, and showing a calm collected male astronaut just makes it worse like that disparity is no good.
The reason I love this series is because we get to hear experts’ pure, genuine love and passion for their area. Chris is so incredibly eloquent and excited to share his viewpoint, and just hearing him speak about his experience in the last 2 minutes of this video left me in awe as I watched him beautifully describe why he loves space. Such a wonderful series, please keep them coming!
I cant agree more, and not only that, you can see that Chris like film making and storytelling, like when he was talking about Hidden Figures, about Kevin Spacey character, he noted that in reality would be tree different persons, but understands that narratively speaking makes sense merge all of them in one single character. He does that others times throughout the video. I have seen some specialists that don't care, or don't understand, narrative story telling, and end up pointing out "erros" that where proposital, due to narrative.
This is the same reason I like this series - I like to hear what experts have to say. You learn when talking to someone who knows more than you. Being uneducated should not be a badge of honor.
“We actually carried guns on board the Russian space ship that I flew.” That has to be the most badass thing anybody has ever uttered whilst being completely serious.
@Barry Obama Actually Russian cosmonauts used to carry TP-82 pistols with them as a survival aid against bears and wolves in Siberia after landings and before being recovered, He's probably talking about that.
Barry Obama nah. Only thing lack of gravity would do is make the bullet fly a lot farther. Less air resistance would probably keep the bullet more on a straight trajectory as well. Shooting long distances. The air can push a bullet a certain direction. With no air resistance that wouldn’t happen.
Astronauts are the best of the best. The brightest people with the utmost passion to explore space and also have to be physically fit enough to survive the g forces that are tearing your body apart and have huge balls cause they know they are sitting on a giant rocket that could explode apart at any moment.
I know one guy, Jonny Kim. The guy decided at age 16 that he wanted to be a Navy Seal, so what'd he do? The guy went through training and graduated and was deployed with Seal Team 3 where he was a combat medic, sniper, and pointman. He made quite a career in that, earned several high honor medals, and after that he went on to obtain a degree in math where he was inspired to become an astronaut. So what'd he do? He went to NASA and became an astronaut. I can't remember when, but he also got a doctorate in medicine. Truly an amazing person.
The guy is articulate and intelligent. Also not only he criticises the scenes but he also concedes the requirement of some scenes. Balanced approach and seems like a great guy!
I really enjoyed this entire interview. Fantastic. I think it is always amazing to talk to someone that loves what they do and can articulate it the way Chris does here.
@@niles6159 What do you mean? Where is the joke? Gravity’s characters are a slap in the face to true astronomers and astronauts. These people go into space with a very serious job that requires extreme dedication and respect, especially of other astronauts. The characters in the movie are shown in a way that are absolute polar opposites of the real deal, it’s really shameful representation of real astronauts. So, again, where’s the joke?
@@baneblack8821 Getting offended about the inaccurate portrayal of astronauts in Gravity is like getting offended about Steven Segal's portrayal of Navy SEAL's in Under Siege. The entire concepts of the movies are so far-fetched that they can't even be take seriously as a whole, so looking at a specific part and saying, "I can't believe that they portrayed this part so inaccurately!" is ludicrous. Also, anyone who watches Sandra Bullock in Gravity and bases their opinion of female astronauts off the movie's portrayal of her must be considered a moron.
@@WetaMantis yeah, I definitely don't on either count. Regardless of stupidity, pretty sure you've never heard anyone disparage women as astronauts on account of Sandra Bullock in Gravity.
I like that he is talking as a human, not as an American or whatever. He speaks on behalf of all of us equally, no matter what part of the planet we live on.
Even though I question whether or not he actually watched the movie. The fact that not only did he not mention Kessler Syndrome at all, but it wasn't the first thing he mentioned (instead saying something about asteroid debris?) leads me to conclude he just saw clips. He also made zero mention of centrifugal or centripetal forces. ... and THEN mentions it in the very next movie he spoke of. There's questioning, and there's outright refusal to acknowledge answers even exist. Sadly, far too many people fall into the latter, especially when it pertains to Gravity. Its like, the better it looks, the more desperate they are to tear it apart. Meanwhile the same people are quick to defend everything wrong with films like Armageddon. At least he laughs at it, but it deserves at least five times as long as Gravity.
@@amolghadigaonkar2114 In what respect? By what metric? What were you expecting of the film? What specific things were you needing to see that it didn't do? note "specific", don't use buzz words or vague nonsense like "I expected it to be good", good in WHAT way? What specific things would you do differently? Again, no vague nonsense like "just don't make the film"
Astronaut in hollywood : built like models and superman Astronaut in real life : looks like your regular neighbor who mow their lawn in sunday morning at 6am
Of course, I mean; the guy has been in space he knows his stuff. If he says it's good, it's good. If he says it's bad, it's bad. (Don't even question it)
It blows my mind just trying to imagine how intelligent, skilled, dedicated, and healthy (physically, emotionally, and mentally) a person has to be to become an astronaut. They're practically superhuman, yet here is one of them being totally chill and sharing his wealth of knowledge with us. Thank you Chris Hadfield and Vanity Fair, this was fascinating to watch!
i feel like when you reach all that (being intelligent, skilled etc) you become chill. like almost every scientist ive seen on youtube giving interviews has this vibe to them.
@@adisaster8734 It's an illusion, of course he is going to word himself and represent himself in a way that would appear comfortable to the viewer. He's not a bad guy just pointing out that, its the entire purpose of the video.
While I agree with you, I also wanted to point out that that is soon going to change when companies in lead with SpaceX reach their ultimate goal. Plenty of stupid, spoiled, rich fatasses are going to go to space then. On the plus side it will also be more affordable to send flatearhers to space to ruin their day. P.S.: I am sorry, I might've been incorrect. I heard that they might be going to adjust the definition so that those won't be called astronauts.
I love the way he explains things so it can be understood in a simple way in layman terms So even when I'm too tired, I can still listen and learn something easily
Holy crap, he really went off on Gravity. You know it's bad when an astronaut stops talking about the physics and starts criticising your writing too. Haha.
He was probably ticked off by the Mel Gibson flirty/knows it all and Sandra doesn't dynamic. All astronauts are extensively trained. Mel Gibson wouldn't need to explain anything and Sandra doesn't need to be come a damsel in distress.
Yeah the story of the man saving the women is a little archaic, but to be fair to the writers it wouldn't be a very captivating film if it was a story about two experienced astronaut's who did their job well and nothing went wrong. It would also be a 20 minute movie.
@@WhatACoolArrow The Martian....a story about very competent people remaining competent in trying to survive/helping someone survive mars...and yet...a lot of things go wrong...and it was an interesting feature length movie... you can be competent and things can still go wrong and still react level...the faux pax with Gravity was how they had Sandra's character react...
"I've been around the world 2650 times or so, and.... I never once could see enough of it. During my first space walk, while i was outside in the dark, we were far enough south that we went through the earths aurora. It is so fantastically beautiful, and such a raw artistic human experience. To look at the northern lights is like magic. To be in them, to surf on them is beyond magic, it's surreal. My last orbit of the world was even more rich and magnificent and awe inspiring than all of the ones before it. The unheralded beauty of our planet and of where it sits in the environment that we are in is so constantly magnificent that when you're looking at you talk in hushed tones." Imagine going somewhere so incredible that you need a thesaurus of adjectives to try to describe it. I'm envious.
If you want some more of that go read the "Pale Blue Dot" statement that Carl Sagan wrote about after seeing the image of planet earth taken by Voyager 1. I still believe that venturing into space will slowly unify us as as a race. But being human also means being petty and selfish too. We may invent new ways to become tribal. But still occasionally we get to see the minds of men and women, rise above the sheer pettiness of our egos. That is also when we are at our best.
For the Ad Astra section, I would think that you could hear anything that made physical contact with the ground, as the ground would carry vibrations up into the rover and into the suit. Like how you can hear/feel vibrations of your car’s tires against the road. I understand that the sounds would be extremely muted because the vibrations are carried only through solids, which our ears aren’t designed to hear, but I’m pretty sure that it wouldn’t be silent.
The Moon also actually does have a very thin atmosphere which could be capable of carrying a very small amount of sound and due to the amount of energy gunshots produce I really don't think it's all that far fetched to add very muted sound effects to the shots.
He is a story teller. He wrote a book called “Apollo Murders”. It’s absolutely fantastic. He took real events, historical space figures, his actual space experience, and masterfully created a fiction novel. I could NOT put it down.

Just love him! What an incredible human he is! And the way he explains things with passion but also in a way that we can understand without making us feel dumb or making himself seem like a “know it all”. Such a genuine person! An absolute hero of mine!
He is a verry gifted communicator. Even in the small bunch of people who have gone in space, he stands apart. He has the technological background to go there and the way to talk about it in interesting maners.
You all are overreacting. Everyone knows astronauts have to know how a space ship works and how to do basic repair. Yes there are different specialties, like doctors, scientists, engineering (usually a pilot too). So the lady might be a dr or scientist who does research and the guy an engineer. But, yeah, you would except an astronaut to be the most able people on earth.
I got to listen to him for two hours live, speaking in Edinburgh. It was genuinely a spiritual moment, I've never been more inspired and in awe of anything a person has ever said before, or since. If you get the chance, I don't care what it costs, go and hear him live.
@Erik Lerström It's sci fi but not star wars. I mean it still working in the same reality as us only that there are some new stuffs.

I actually walked out of the movie theater about halfway through the movie. I just couldn't stand it. But then again, I used to be an aerospace engineer, so maybe I was a bit biased ;-)
Sure it has flaws but it is very entertaining. "Dis is how we fix things in Russia!" :-) One of my main problems is that they discovered something the size of Texas 18 days out. There is ONE asteroid the size of Texas and it was found 200 (now it's 220) years ago.
Anyone else break down a little when Chris was talking about how he has been around the world 2650 or so times but he could never see enough of the Earth and how beautiful it was flying through the aurora?
I was literally about to comment about this. I found myself tearing up -- every single last word he spoke was so true -- the awe inspiring beauty, the breathtaking majesty, the humbling reverence -- all of it!
"The reverence and understanding of both the miniscule nature of being a human in the enormity of the universe, but also the enormity of being able to see it in that way." With the things Hadfield has experienced, and his wonderful way with words, I am surprised that people don't give him more attention. That man is like a poet, without even having to try.
exactly what I was thinking. Real talk, I kept rewatching the last 5mins - 10mins of the video just to hear him poetically explain these experiences! mans really got a way with words! plus lowkey I might have to use some of these to impress a girl! 👌🏼😏 hahaha

It is almost disrespectful to these experts to claim that they did not even know such simple things. The producer had said that physical deviations are intentional in that movie. So there is no fault at all, because it is a symbolic story with "letting go" as its central theme (watch again and look for letting-go-symbols, both in speech and image, and for arbitrary inconsistencies that indicate dreaming but not reality). That's what Dr. Stone's nightmares look like after she lost her daughter, and she can't deal with that, she can't let go; that's the point.
Basically, if it's not one hundred percent clear that a film is supposed to reflect reality, then one should not just assume that it does. You should then allow it to be interpreted. By the way, I can even fly without any aids -- in my dreams. :)
I met Chris Hadfield at an airshow once, when I was a kid. He had a picture in the back of the program, and autographed it for me. In it, he wrote "The Sky Is Not The Limit".

This is the awesome mindset of astronauts, you hear it very often. Just to think, what we could achieve on earth with it...
This guy is like the peak of humanity. Master's degree in aviation systems, fighter pilot for 25 years, became an engineer and astronaut, went on 2 space shuttle missions (including making videos on them), installed the Canadarm 2, and commanded the entire ISS for a short time. Like, you're done. You're basically overqualified for almost any other job on earth after that. He earned his retirement with flying colors.
"You're basically overqualified for almost any other job on earth after that." - Not really. There aren't that many jobs where being e.g. a fighter pilot is all that helpful. Being an engineer is pretty useful and sure he has made a great career, but his skills are not really super versatile.

@@NT_1 I love that film too. It's terribly scary! But as far as genuine "space" movies go, I absolutely think that while Interstellar is an absolutely compelling, mind-boggling and truly great fun, it still exists within the shadow of the greatest movie about outer space - 2001: A Space Odyssey. For me, there is no greater film of any genre out there. Oh, and while they are clearly fiction, I also really like a number of the "Star Trek" films. Particularly the first one, and "Star Trek: First Contact".

“That’s a very compelling and accurate scene, assuming there is a swimming pool on a spaceship.”

This man is doing a great job at commenting on these movies: objective, logical, critical, knowledgeable, straight-headed and they let him talk without interruption, way to do it!
Chris is being very subjective about the movies, him being one of the very few people who actually can, and that's what makes this talk so great. A physicist could tell how movies pan out objectively, but Chris can tell that and so much more.
I like how he doesn’t just say it’s bad, he says it’s inaccurate but still understands the filmmaker has to make it interesting and engaging for the viewer.
So many things in movies are abstracted to some extent so the viewer can understand and so the movie itself can be compelling, not just in space movies but really all kinds. For starters, they only show you the "interesting" parts, and almost never in real time. You have to find a way to get months of preparation and a four day journey down to two hours, so people with no astronaut training and no knowledge of orbital mechanics can cheer at the end of Apollo 13.
I still do, 25 years later.
First Man wasn't a movie about space, it was about loss and grief. Did he not catch the main theme? No wonder he didn't get why everyone was so down all the time. Pay more attention to the details you're not so interested in next time Chris! It seems like he only pays attention to the parts in space for most of the films. The theme was loss: Neil Armstrong lost his daughter, collective loss of the other astronaut candidates, Buzz Aldrin's loss of humility, I could go on.

@@guyh3403 a good story line does wonders for a movie, you dont have to rely on exaggerated action scenes
As amazing physicists are, they aren't automatically great writers just because they know a lot of the accurate science. You need a good writer for a good story, and often distorting reality becomes necessary. That's why it's called science fiction.

Relativity and Space coincide greatly, context matters in every situation regarding physics.
Deep Impact was an infinitely better film with regards to portrayal of space and science than Armageddon could ever dream to be.
Well to the movie's defense, the space crew were earth miners that being forced to go to space in a short amount of time and training, its kinda the point of the movie that they suppose to not having astronaut's intelligence, training, and manners.

@Justin Martin I dunno, personally I'd say being a general in the army or something to that effect; you're in charge of a lot of people's lives and the commands you give don't just affect the people you're giving them out to
not saying that commanding the ISS isn't important or that it doesn't require responsibility, it certainly does
Truuuu
@Justin Martin The ISS Cmdr is the most powerful man in Space. Because Space > Earth, then ISS Cmdr > POTUS.
I love how he stands up for little girls dreams and says you're not just some girl needing rescuing you can be legendary on your own (awesome hat tip to the most experienced astronaut lady)
I like too how he isn’t like “well she needs to be an empowered woman” as if it’s not okay for a woman to be vulnerable or weak in a movie. He was frustrated that she is supposed to be a competent astronaut and that they wouldn’t panic like that, like an astronaut in general would be trained to keep calm and collected and she just seems like a helpless victim in the scene. It’s kinda a dig on astronauts and their competence, and showing a calm collected male astronaut just makes it worse like that disparity is no good.
I was just thinking how nice it was to see him so offended. It’s really comforting.
The Wall-E fact was adorable, I actually thought that was impossible as child but now that I know that it is possible my inner child is proud lol
The reason I love this series is because we get to hear experts’ pure, genuine love and passion for their area. Chris is so incredibly eloquent and excited to share his viewpoint, and just hearing him speak about his experience in the last 2 minutes of this video left me in awe as I watched him beautifully describe why he loves space. Such a wonderful series, please keep them coming!
I cant agree more, and not only that, you can see that Chris like film making and storytelling, like when he was talking about Hidden Figures, about Kevin Spacey character, he noted that in reality would be tree different persons, but understands that narratively speaking makes sense merge all of them in one single character. He does that others times throughout the video.
I have seen some specialists that don't care, or don't understand, narrative story telling, and end up pointing out "erros" that where proposital, due to narrative.

“We actually carried guns on board the Russian space ship that I flew.” That has to be the most badass thing anybody has ever uttered whilst being completely serious.
@Barry Obama bullets dont travel because of gravity, the force of the ignition when the gun fires makes the bullet fly

@Barry Obama Actually Russian cosmonauts used to carry TP-82 pistols with them as a survival aid against bears and wolves in Siberia after landings and before being recovered, He's probably talking about that.
Barry Obama nah. Only thing lack of gravity would do is make the bullet fly a lot farther. Less air resistance would probably keep the bullet more on a straight trajectory as well. Shooting long distances. The air can push a bullet a certain direction. With no air resistance that wouldn’t happen.
@@Highminded12 true but not just a lot farther, it would endlessly execute it's trajectory assuming it has a clear path

Even though I question whether or not he actually watched the movie. The fact that not only did he not mention Kessler Syndrome at all, but it wasn't the first thing he mentioned (instead saying something about asteroid debris?) leads me to conclude he just saw clips. He also made zero mention of centrifugal or centripetal forces. ... and THEN mentions it in the very next movie he spoke of.
There's questioning, and there's outright refusal to acknowledge answers even exist. Sadly, far too many people fall into the latter, especially when it pertains to Gravity. Its like, the better it looks, the more desperate they are to tear it apart. Meanwhile the same people are quick to defend everything wrong with films like Armageddon.

Me: yes. Very very bad.
Chris: it’s amazing.
Me: yes. very very amazing.
he just everyone's public figure and trusted him being an expert 😄😄
Of course, I mean; the guy has been in space he knows his stuff.
If he says it's good, it's good.
If he says it's bad, it's bad. (Don't even question it)
You made my entire day with your comment Cara !! LoL
I really laughed loud
That's true and natural...
It blows my mind just trying to imagine how intelligent, skilled, dedicated, and healthy (physically, emotionally, and mentally) a person has to be to become an astronaut. They're practically superhuman, yet here is one of them being totally chill and sharing his wealth of knowledge with us. Thank you Chris Hadfield and Vanity Fair, this was fascinating to watch!
i feel like when you reach all that (being intelligent, skilled etc) you become chill. like almost every scientist ive seen on youtube giving interviews has this vibe to them.

@@adisaster8734 It's an illusion, of course he is going to word himself and represent himself in a way that would appear comfortable to the viewer. He's not a bad guy just pointing out that, its the entire purpose of the video.
While I agree with you, I also wanted to point out that that is soon going to change when companies in lead with SpaceX reach their ultimate goal. Plenty of stupid, spoiled, rich fatasses are going to go to space then. On the plus side it will also be more affordable to send flatearhers to space to ruin their day.
P.S.: I am sorry, I might've been incorrect. I heard that they might be going to adjust the definition so that those won't be called astronauts.
I love the way he explains things so it can be understood in a simple way in layman terms
So even when I'm too tired, I can still listen and learn something easily
Holy crap, he really went off on Gravity. You know it's bad when an astronaut stops talking about the physics and starts criticising your writing too. Haha.
He was probably ticked off by the Mel Gibson flirty/knows it all and Sandra doesn't dynamic. All astronauts are extensively trained.
Mel Gibson wouldn't need to explain anything and Sandra doesn't need to be come a damsel in distress.
Mel Gibson? Do you mean George Clooney?
@@theprocrastinator12 doesn't matter really. His point is still valid.
Yeah the story of the man saving the women is a little archaic, but to be fair to the writers it wouldn't be a very captivating film if it was a story about two experienced astronaut's who did their job well and nothing went wrong. It would also be a 20 minute movie.
@@WhatACoolArrow The Martian....a story about very competent people remaining competent in trying to survive/helping someone survive mars...and yet...a lot of things go wrong...and it was an interesting feature length movie...
you can be competent and things can still go wrong and still react level...the faux pax with Gravity was how they had Sandra's character react...
"I've been around the world 2650 times or so, and.... I never once could see enough of it. During my first space walk, while i was outside in the dark, we were far enough south that we went through the earths aurora. It is so fantastically beautiful, and such a raw artistic human experience. To look at the northern lights is like magic. To be in them, to surf on them is beyond magic, it's surreal. My last orbit of the world was even more rich and magnificent and awe inspiring than all of the ones before it. The unheralded beauty of our planet and of where it sits in the environment that we are in is so constantly magnificent that when you're looking at you talk in hushed tones."
Imagine going somewhere so incredible that you need a thesaurus of adjectives to try to describe it. I'm envious.
I get what you mean but that thesaurus isn't needed per se, only utilized in a manner to attempt an accurate description.
Tbrg I think that’s what they’re trying to say
Wow! I was scrolling through the comments and exactly when I saw this comment he started saying it! Perfect timing! It was really cool!!😂😂😱
THanks for typing it!
If you want some more of that go read the "Pale Blue Dot" statement that Carl Sagan wrote about after seeing the image of planet earth taken by Voyager 1. I still believe that venturing into space will slowly unify us as as a race. But being human also means being petty and selfish too. We may invent new ways to become tribal. But still occasionally we get to see the minds of men and women, rise above the sheer pettiness of our egos. That is also when we are at our best.
27:15 "Two shots at the grizzly bear and maybe the last for yourself." The way he said it so casually nearly made me spit out my coffee laughing.
I quite like the man. Ironically, he seems quite down to Earth.
You got a good chuckle out of me with that.
He is down to mars
Nice one 😄
give him some space man....

This has to be one of the best segments on RUclips... Hadfield should have his own science show.
He does have an online space class program
i think he is one that does a tour of the ISS, it's long but well worth the watch.
hes so funny!
We should get hadfield, Neil degrasse Tyson, and bill nye on a show
@@apoorlydrawnpotato419 I would definitely watch.
Chris' rant just shows his passion and I find that incredibly inspiring.
It ruined it for me. I cut off his rant midway through.
SAME. TOTALLY FEEL THAT ENERGY.
For the Ad Astra section, I would think that you could hear anything that made physical contact with the ground, as the ground would carry vibrations up into the rover and into the suit. Like how you can hear/feel vibrations of your car’s tires against the road. I understand that the sounds would be extremely muted because the vibrations are carried only through solids, which our ears aren’t designed to hear, but I’m pretty sure that it wouldn’t be silent.
The Moon also actually does have a very thin atmosphere which could be capable of carrying a very small amount of sound and due to the amount of energy gunshots produce I really don't think it's all that far fetched to add very muted sound effects to the shots.

Netflix should give Chris his own show. Dude is an excellent story teller
Netflix doesn't deserve him. But yeah, if they got him, it would be the best show they would have.
he sure is
Funny that Hua
He is a story teller. He wrote a book called “Apollo Murders”. It’s absolutely fantastic. He took real events, historical space figures, his actual space experience, and masterfully created a fiction novel. I could NOT put it down.
He should play himself in For All Mankind!
Time-stamps to see his thoughts on your favourite space movie. :)

Thankyou
Just love him! What an incredible human he is! And the way he explains things with passion but also in a way that we can understand without making us feel dumb or making himself seem like a “know it all”. Such a genuine person! An absolute hero of mine!
He "surfed" on the Auroras... Uh that's the coolest thing I have ever heard.
i agree. the man is not only an astronaut but a gifted wordsmith as well.
He is a verry gifted communicator. Even in the small bunch of people who have gone in space, he stands apart. He has the technological background to go there and the way to talk about it in interesting maners.
No matter how bright I dye my hair, or how many piercings I have, or how creative is the name of my dog, I'll never be as cool as him
When Wall-E is more scientifically accurate than Armageddon
If Wall-E more scientifically accurate, the scene where both robots in space should be silent because there is no air in space, therefore no sound.
I mean, facts.
Wait, you actually expected a Michael Bay film to be scientifically accurate? Let alone one about oil drillers going to space to save the world...
Wall-E is a masterpiece.

Thanks!
Chris, as a Canadian I have nothing but pride and massive respect for you and your insight. Thanks for agreeing to do this.

Right? Chris is my hero.
sees intersteller for 5 seconds
Chris: well, im just confused now.
Me: wait until you see all his movies.
Yeah, I love how offended he gets over that. I love this guy so much.
You all are overreacting. Everyone knows astronauts have to know how a space ship works and how to do basic repair.
Yes there are different specialties, like doctors, scientists, engineering (usually a pilot too). So the lady might be a dr or scientist who does research and the guy an engineer.
But, yeah, you would except an astronaut to be the most able people on earth.
I could LITERALLY listen to this guy speak about space and physics etc for hours and hours and hours.....
Please stop using LITERALLY all the time...
I got to listen to him for two hours live, speaking in Edinburgh. It was genuinely a spiritual moment, I've never been more inspired and in awe of anything a person has ever said before, or since. If you get the chance, I don't care what it costs, go and hear him live.
@Erik Lerström No, no one was speaking figuratively.
Yup me too, I almost follow Chirs' every video on youtube since that music video came out.
@Erik Lerström It's sci fi but not star wars. I mean it still working in the same reality as us only that there are some new stuffs. Yet, why would they changed the thing that is already exist? it kills the immersion for some tbh, regardless I love interstellar anyways, it's one of my fav movie besides Passengers.
you can see several times that in him explaining something he comes up with new theories and questions in his head - its fantastic to watch
"I've been around the world 2,650 times or so, and I never once could see enough of it." - Chris, what a beautiful statement.

Not all heroes wear a cape, thank you sir!
Armageddon.
Hadfield just starts laughing.
That pretty much sums it up.
I actually walked out of the movie theater about halfway through the movie. I just couldn't stand it. But then again, I used to be an aerospace engineer, so maybe I was a bit biased ;-)
Sure it has flaws but it is very entertaining. "Dis is how we fix things in Russia!" :-)
One of my main problems is that they discovered something the size of Texas 18 days out. There is ONE asteroid the size of Texas and it was found 200 (now it's 220) years ago.
I like how they flew around the moon at faster than light speed. I guess they were running on the raw testicular power of Bruce Willis.
Thank you Chris and Vanity Fair for this interesting video! So fascinating to hear Chris talk about what he knows and experienced
He talked so passionately about the seriousness of astronauts and the competency of female astronauts that it brought tears to my eyes.
samee!!
That's what got me
S I M P
weakling
oh stfu !
Anyone else break down a little when Chris was talking about how he has been around the world 2650 or so times but he could never see enough of the Earth and how beautiful it was flying through the aurora?
TripleTapHK I must say I shed a tear
Yep. One thing I really enjoy about Chris Hadfield is he can be both a man of Science and a man of Wonder.
I was literally about to comment about this. I found myself tearing up -- every single last word he spoke was so true -- the awe inspiring beauty, the breathtaking majesty, the humbling reverence -- all of it!
I felt that too.
no im not a weakling
"The reverence and understanding of both the miniscule nature of being a human in the enormity of the universe, but also the enormity of being able to see it in that way."
With the things Hadfield has experienced, and his wonderful way with words, I am surprised that people don't give him more attention. That man is like a poet, without even having to try.
exactly what I was thinking. Real talk, I kept rewatching the last 5mins - 10mins of the video just to hear him poetically explain these experiences! mans really got a way with words! plus lowkey I might have to use some of these to impress a girl! 👌🏼😏 hahaha
He's a national hero here in Canada - he's even on our $5 bill!
You guys are just late to the party lol
When I watched this the first time, that part got me teary eyed a bit
Rename this to : Chris Hadfield destroys sci-fi movies with facts and logic
Takes a pretty exceptional person to be accepted as NASA astronaut though. So it's unsurprising he's intellectual and well spoken, it's not the 60's.
Intensiv, unterhaltsam, lehrreich - ein ganz wunderbares Format! Vielen lieben Dank dafür und gerne mehr davon 😊
