Whereas, others were in the direction that lead Hadfield to explain his feeling when he was preparing to leave for a trip from which he might not have returned. He explained of having spent several years to make sure that he has done things he wanted to do and said goodbye to all friends and family. He stated that “that way, the biggest emotion in blastoff is relief.” Answering other queries regarding what it takes takes to be an astronaut, Hadfield answered that it takes three things, namely exceptional physical health, ability to learn complex concepts quickly and strong decision-making skills.
