The Danger is Different than the Fear

3/22/2014

In space, “there is no problem so bad that you can’t make it worse.” 

Chris Hadfield is quickly becoming one of my new heroes. This TED talk is simply inspiring. 

First, this is the sort of representation that the space program has been missing. How could any young child watch this and NOT want to grow up to be an astronaut?

Second, this is the most succinct breakdown of danger verses fear that I have ever heard - and it's coming from someone who should be no stranger to both. 
…you don’t need to panic and go with your caveman reaction. The danger is entirely different than the fear.
On a related note, this video is simply epic - an absolute embodiment of the beauty that can come from the amalgamation of science and humanities.
