Got Chris Hadfield's ( you know,the guy who sang 'Space Oddysy'on the ISS)book AN ASTRONAUTS GUIDE TO LIFE ON EARTH from my daughter for Christmas.Fantastic read.Having read what it takes to be an astronaut these guys deserve all the hero worship they get.I thought it was tough getting 5 'o' levels and an ONC in electrical engineering,but what these guys have to learn is incredible.Highly recommended.

Cheers, John.

Sounds like a good read! He recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast for anyone who listens, was a great episode.

He was interviewed recently in Dublin and came across very well. A man you could listen to for a long time. His book sold out here before Christmas. Interesting guy.

Thanks for that John - my daughter gave me a copy for Christmas too, and it's next on my reading list.

Blimey, what is about daughters?  This is what my daughter gave me for Christmas as well.  I was a bit apprehensive, as I'd heard it described as a self-help book.  But it's only really a self-help book if you are one of the gifted and tenacious few who are likely to make it into space.  Entertaining, illuminating and thought-provoking.

He was on the 2nd episode of Stargazing Live and that was by far the best - together with the other guy whose name I forget.  The 2 of them stole the show.
