Chris Hadfield's latest Ask Me Anything
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 4:42 am
Ask Me Anythings are common on Reddit, with famous or otherwise interesting people opening a thread, providing a short description about themselves so that everyone knows who they are, and then inviting the community to ask them questions. This is really useful because it allows everyone to ask things that they wouldn't have had an opportunity to ask otherwise, the community gets to interact and gain some interesting insights, and it's generally a lot of fun. I was really excited to see Chris Hadfield opening one a few hours ago:
https://pay.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ ... astronaut/I am Commander Chris Hadfield, recently back from 5 months on the Space Station.
Since landing in Kazakhstan I've been in Russia, across the US and Canada doing medical tests, debriefing, meeting people, talking about spaceflight, and signing books (I'm the author of a new book called "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth").
Life after 3 spaceflights and 21 years in the Astronaut Corps is turning out to be busy and interesting. I hope to share it with you as best I can.
So, reddit. Ask me anything!
