Chris Hadfield: What I Learned From Going Blind in Space
If you saw Gravity, you know there’s plenty that can go wrong in space. There's an astronaut saying: In space, “there is no problem so bad that you can’t make it worse.”
So how do you deal with the complexity, the sheer pressure, of dealing with dangerous and scary situations? Retired colonel Chris Hadfield paints a vivid portrait of how to be prepared for the worst in space (and life) — and it starts with walking into a spider’s web. Watch for a special space-y performance.
Watching Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s TED Talk about his personal experience going temporarily blind on a space walk can help you understand that a spacewalk can turn into a terrifying experience quickly.
However, the real takeaway from Hadfield’s astronaut experience is learning to differentiate between fear and danger. Fear can play a big part in an entrepreneur’s journey, but rarely are you in danger. Know how to judge your fear to conquer it and achieve ultimate success.
