    Don't look back, that's not where you're going ---- yes, accept things that have happened in the past, but pay attention to where you're going in the future and focus on that, because that is your life." -Chris Hadfield

    Chris is an inspiration because he puts it all into perspective. He realizes the value of Mother Earth and humanity's fragile place in the cosmos. He isn't in his profession for fame and glory but to make the whole world a better place by being an ambassador and an educator. His terrific "down to earth" personality and charisma has rekindled the interest of millions of young people not only in space but also about our fragile planet. Humble but SO accomplished. The human race needs more of his kind to explore, discover and keep the spark of adventure alive. What a legacy. He is a man who lived life to the max but did so for the benefit of many.

      As Chris Hadfield said in his song ISS (Is Somebody Singing)- "You can't make out borders from up here, just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere." The fights our nations have is meaningless. One wants to kill everyone, and one wants to make the other just like they are. That is usually how the 2 sides of war are. Neither of them get what they want and end up with many people dead for nothing.

      Oddly enough, Chris Hadfield has said that he is not a fan of heights either. Standing close to cliffs... dining in glass bottomed restaurants in skyscrapers, et cetera are things that gives him the willies! But viewing Earth from orbit while spacewalking? Pushing jets to their limits as a test pilot? Riding a controlled explosion for ~20 minutes? He's cool with that.

    Even when you are capable of anything a human can realistically be capable of, the universe and the world, the fact that we're out here with our creations, rather than just nature on its own, is stupefying and dumbfounding. How far we have gotten as a species. I couldn't have said it better than how Chris described it though.

    I admire Commander Hadfield's parents, especially his Mom when she said she stopped worrying as they have 4 pilots in the family :) I can only imagine how proud she is of her son.
