Chris Hadfield, the retired Commander of the International Space Station, is interviewed by Joe Rogan, who questions everything, in this video podcast. They talk about all kinds of things – space, science, technology, environment, social matters, etc. It’s an hour long, but it’s worth every minute of it.

It’s fascinating in a variety of ways. I particularly enjoyed the bits about stars and light pollution, humans living on a tiny crust, and his feelings during the flight up and coming back down. As a side note, I couldn’t not notice how clean his language is and how well he expresses himself, and how educated he is in a variety of areas. Joe Rogan is by far not an idiot, and yet, the contrast is still there.
