Re: [Chatter] "Where everybody knows your name ..."


He did an AMA on Reddit today. There are some fascinating questions and answers on it.

I Am Astronaut Chris Hadfield, currently orbiting planet Earth. : IAmA

Just grabbed a couple quickly:

I watched a large meteorite burn up between me and Australia, and to think of that hypersonic dumb lump of rock randomly hurtling into us instead sent a shiver up my back.
I love sleeping weightless. No mattress, no pillow, no sore shoulder, no hot spots. Just relax every muscle in your body and drift off to sleep.
The vacuum of space has no smell, but when we come in from a spacewalk the airlock smells like ozone, or gunpowder. It likely comes from the gentle offgassing of the outer metal and fabric of our suits.

Sometimes, I wish I was more creative and could make designs out of Tetris blocks a little better. So far I have a 4x10 block down pat with no holes, but I'd like to expand and use a bit more variation in my tetrominoes.

If I were in your position I'd just go play a game or two of Tetris, maybe taking a screenshot or two along the way, and try to find inspiration that way.

It's been added to the list. ;) There have been somewhere between 40 and 50 submissions so far. Five submitted ideas currently sit next to 'Sidera' in the favorites.

So the eyes of vertebrates (which we humans are, of course) have a blind spot as a result of the retina being behind the optical nerve tissue. You can actually test it yourself to see the blind spot in action on the Wikipedia page.

Very cool.

WHERE THE HELL IS MY EXORCIST BLU-RAY?! This is ridiculous. It's been almost a month. If it isn't here today I'm just going to put in for a refund, and if they don't do it, to eBay Buyer Protection we go.
