It's 1-35. It's March the 9th. Again, why don't you take it away. It's March the 9th. Again, butters, you take it away. It's March the 9th. Okay. Very pleased to introduce probably the coolest guy on earth right there. He's a bit of a groupie. Who is?

You. Well, yeah, I am. Chris Hadfield's here. Welcome, Chris Hadfield. Thank you, Bubbles. It's good to see you. Yes, welcome. Thank you very much. Sorry to put our friends here. That's all right. Everything Bubbles. It's good to see you. Yes, welcome. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Nice to see you.

Sorry to put our friends here. That's all right. He's, everything's fine. Zach's a little groupish. Hopefully he doesn't get out of hand. We've flown a spaceship together. We have. We have.

You were there. That reminds me, did you end up speaking to NASA about me? At just the appropriate level, yep. There you go. He talked about me. He's been complaining he never got any contact from them or letters in the mail and stuff,

but there's a lot of folks interested. You know, it's a big organization. I know, but where I was, you know, flying with you, I'm thinking they're probably gonna, you know, I've been checking my inbox, my spam filters, nothing like that,

but I'm sure it's gonna come. One of the things I'm worried about actually right now, this is one of the smartest people on Earth in my opinion, and he's sitting beside one of the not-smartest. The other smartest people of Earth. One of the not-smartest people. Who, Dewey? Is there any type of like where your brain is so good

and his is so, you know, is there any type of like a black hole vortex that could form? I'm hoping not, but I don't is so, you know, is there any type of like a black hole vortex that could form? I'm hoping not, but I don't think so, no. Like a matter anti-matter. Well I could think about his brain compared to his. I don't understand what you're talking about. It's like a before and after picture of damage or something.

All right. Can I just start asking questions here? Oh yeah, first thing I wanted to say, today, March 9th, Yuri Gagarin's birthday. Yuri Gagarin. Yuri Gagarin, he would have been like 84. Yeah, what was he like? Yuri was, I never met him, I just read about him. But he was, let's see, he was a gymnast and a skydiver

and a pilot and an engineer and a brave guy. Well when he went up in Vostok One, right? Yeah. That was the first. When that came back to Earth, he wasn't even in the capsule. He popped out and came down on a chute. Just to show off or?

No, not to show off. That was the technology back then. That was as good as it got. He had a big set of kahunas, though, being the first guy. Wow. And not only that, the ship was malfunctioning when they were coming into the atmosphere. Wonderful. And he ejected from it, and it buried itself in a field, and he came floating down on a parachute,

and there was nobody there because he landed several hundred miles short of where they were supposed to land. He had to walk and find somebody to tell him what happened. So pretty amazing. So he just walked up to someone, hey, I just came from space. Came in a little shallow. He was a brave guy. So the Russians weren't as good at math as the rest of us.

Well but they beat everybody else into space. It was 1961, they were very good at math. They figured out how to put a spaceship up there. They just couldn't figure out how to get it back. Yeah, well, there's that. But, but, no, they won the race. But, but the interesting thing is that was as good as it was gonna get. Imagine if, if the plan A was that you were gonna have to, uh, eject out of your spaceship

just before it hit the world and you were gonna float down on a spaceship. You're right. That was a guy with some, with some guts. But that took some, yeah, you gotta be pretty brave to hop into that baby, knowing that you're ejecting out of it. Oh my God, okay, so for the people that don't know, and there's probably not many of them,

you've been to space three times. I have. Three times, STS-74, STS-100, and Soyuz, TMA-07M. That's right. Three missions. First mission was you docked with Mir, correct? Yeah, we built part of Mir, actually. We brought up a thing that looked sort of like that and attached it to Mir.

It was bigger. Attached that into Mir and us at the other end so the shuttle could dock at the end of this long cylinder. Was it full of beer? It was full of air, fortunately. But, yeah, that's what we did on my first flight. So you've been in two... Has anybody else been in two space stations? Not very many, no.

He was in Mir and the ISS. I was. Decent. Pretty cool. STS-100, that was Endeavour. The first one was Atlantis. Endeavour, he installed the Canadarm. And did two spacewalks. Yep, that was a great experience, being outside. First Canadian outside on a spacewalk.

I know, I've got that written right here. It's probably written right there. It is, first Canadian ever to do a spacewalk. So what's that like, tell people what it's like when you first pop out and you're like, holy shit, I'm out in space. Yeah, that goes through your mind, for sure. when you first pop out and you're like, holy shit, I'm out in space? Yeah, that goes through your mind, for sure.

But the weird thing is the world is right there, silent beside you, and turning fast because you're going around it every 90 minutes. So the world is rolling by, silent next to you. But what you really are is surrounded by the universe. And the coolest thing is to be holding on to the spaceship with one hand. Your body is out in the universe. The world is somewhere over there, and you're in the middle of all that. Wow. That's a big thing to try and soak up.

Look at that. I got goosebumps. Look at that. That's a hard thing to soak up while it's happening. Decent. Walking around in space, boys. Like that's not... Is it warm?

In the sun it's about plus 150 Celsius. In the shade it's about minus 140. It's cold. And there's your suit, so on one shoulder it's plus 150, the other shoulder is minus 140. Wow. So it's... I was telling them that earlier, but I was thinking,

I thought you told me 350, but 150 is still pretty... Fahrenheit. That's pretty extreme. 350 Fahrenheit, yeah. It's pretty warm. So yeah, it is. And on your legs, because it's just cloth, if you move your knees over to one side,

it's like hotter than boiling water, and the other side is like dry ice. That's what you feel the whole time. It's a very strange place. So you've got to find that happy little center? You want to be right in the middle. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah, Ricky, you don't want to be right in the middle. Yeah, that's right.

Oh yeah, Ricky, you don't want to cock your legs on your space suit, obviously. So it's like zero degrees right in the middle? We actually wear, like race car drivers, we wear clothes that have water pumped through them, like long underwear with water in little tiny tubes, and you control the temperature of the water going all around your body. So you can keep it whatever temperature you want.

I'd love to have some of those. Yeah, you have to wear the backpack that cools it, but otherwise it's all right. Then you went up in the Soyuz. I did, the Russian spaceship. What's, how different, like is it scarier being in a little rocket than it is in the shuttle where you got, you know, room to stretch out?

Well, let's see. Here, move close to me. Real close, move real close. It's like this in a Soyuz. Three guys like that. And you got your knees up in your chest. Yeah, and he's gotta use a stick, right? And you gotta, yeah, you gotta push the control panel

in front of us. So, because you wanna make the spaceship as small as you can. So the three of you are jammed right in next to you, flying a spaceship for like two days on the way up to the space station. Oh, couldn't do it. Wearing pressure suits and liquid-cooled underwear and all the rest of that stuff.

So yeah, it's kind of small. But it gets you from Earth safely up to the space station. That's where you're going. Yeah. And then you dock and you were there. About half a year. About, yeah. Whoa.

It's in space for half a year. That's a long time. It is. Do you get like, I mean, I know you don't get bored up there, but I mean, you recorded an album up there. So you had a little bit of free time. There's a guitar up there, yeah. I played at night when I was supposed to be asleep.

But yeah, it's a big, it's like living in a laboratory or living in a big, busy hospital where there's a million things going on. With a much better view. With a great view out the window. You go around the world 16 times a day, so you get to see everywhere, all day. Rob, can you wrap your head around that, Ricky? It's pretty cool.

No, I'm still back quite a bit, trying to figure it all out. Liquid cooled underwear? 16 times a day, around the Earth. You cross Canada in 10 minutes, from one side to the the other so you see the whole thing in that's fast Yeah, it's it's faster than the whole world Ricky. It's completely different than an airplane Yeah, it's 25 times faster than the speed of sound Wow 25 for six months. I mean that kind of sounds like being in jail to me

You're up there for six months, you can't leave. Being in jail. Well, kind of like that. You get three meals a day. The food's probably better. Well, I'm not sure. I haven't been in jail, so I don't know how to compare. Imagine that.

Chris Hadfield's never been in jail. You guys should train in jail. There's still time. I bet you no astronauts have criminal records. I'm hoping not. I don't know. But maybe the big difference is every time you go by the window,

the whole world is pouring by underneath. And also you're weightless the whole time. So you're floating. That'd be neat. So it... I bet you you're pretty good at geography by now. Yeah, I am. I know, I get to know the world pretty well.

We should have had a quiz, like a geography quiz. Hey, where's this? Ask me anything, where's this? He's seen it all, many times. So I guess you're pretty smart. I think he was talking to you, Pulse. No, he wasn't, he was talking to you, unfortunately. Yes, Ricky. Have you been

to college and stuff? I've been to college, yep. I have indeed. Been to college. Ask him a question. Ricky. Ask him something. That's all right. That's all right. Flying in spaceships, you got to study.

Lots of stuff to know. So, yeah, so I went to college. I studied engineering. I'm an engineer. That's a smart, that's a smart thing. Yeah. He was a test pilot, Ricky. Remember when I got you up in the planes? Yeah, it was cool.

Well, here's a weird fact that people probably don't realize. All four people sitting at this table have flown CF-18s. Ah, that's pretty cool. You flew a CF-18? Believe it or not. He did. You've been up in one.

It was pretty awesome. Were you wearing the liquid coolant? One of the coolest days of my life. No, we had some kind of a pressure suit on. Yeah, you had a G suit on. We had a G suit on. Yeah, got to do some flips. Yeah, that was neat.

Blasted the nose cannon into the lake, which we apparently weren't allowed to do, but they let us do it anyway. You were on Coal Lake? Yeah. I learned to fly F-18s in Coal Lake. Great airplane. You, here, I want to just make sure I get this right.

Wrote a thesis on the high-angle attack aerodynamics of the F-18. Yeah, handling qualities at high angle of attack. You asked him if he ever went to school, Rick. Right. He literally wrote a thesis on aerodynamics of jets. You don't have to go to school to do that, though. Well, to get it right, you do. Helps.

Some people are just naturally born knowing everything. Oh, my God. So, some people say that you haven't been in space or nobody else has and the Earth is flat. Ricky. There we go. Yeah, true. The Earth is flat?

Some people say that. Oh, okay. Yeah. Ricky, he did not just confirm your suspicions. Well, it just seemed like the real astronaut just said the Earth is flat. No, he didn't. He didn suspicions. Well, it just seemed like the real astronaut just said the Earth is flat. No, he didn't. He didn't say that.

People say it. You know who they are, Ricky? Crazy people. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Which part of it? That it being flat. Yeah. Well, do you want to talk about it?

Let's talk about it. I think if you could just explain. You can't get it into his head. He still thinks it's flat. All right. But when you saw it from up there, it didn't look flat, did it? Well, you go around it in 90 minutes, so it's not flat. Otherwise, I would have got to an edge at some point.

Yeah. And if there's an edge, what's on the bottom? That's what I was talking about. And when you look up at the moon, is the moon flat or a ball? Well, I researched this a little bit, and they think it's flat, and then the sun and the moon do this, and the whole thing's surrounded by ice, and the bottom is like dirt hanging, and then there's a dome over it.

People really think this. Dirt hanging where? There's dirt hanging off the bottom of the Earth disk, and then it's under a dome, and I'm not even joking. I know, I know. There's people that are trying to prove this on the internet. Well, it's a lot easier than actually doing work, I think. So you're not buying into it?

Well, it's not a matter of buying into it, no. You know how one guy tried to prove it? He got on an airplane going from New York to L.A. and he brought a carpenter's level and he set it on the arm of his chair, and it stayed level the whole time, and he goes, there you go. Proved it. Slat.

It's not round, otherwise the level would have... Nah. No? Nah. Gravity, stuff like that. So when you live here in Halifax, and when a ship sails away,

how come it gets lower and lower on the horizon as it goes? I think it's just further and further away, so you can't see as well. No, but then it should get smaller, not lower. Like partway out, you shouldn't only be able to see the top and then have it disappear. It should just, you should always be able to see it, right? That's a good point. But it disappears. It goes over the horizon.

I forget what their cockamamie explanation for that was. They had one too. They had one for that? Oh, yeah, but it was crazy. Yeah, well. Crazy people. There's no point in talking to them because they've already decided what they think. That's right.

It's like if someone walks up to you and says, the sky is orange. And you go, no, it's not. They said, yeah, it is. It's orange. There's no point in having a conversation because the sky is not orange. But if someone's convinced themselves they are, then that's their concern. But don't worry about it. Don't argue with them about it.

They try to say the whole space station's in a studio. That's just easier than actually doing something. But come down to a launch. Come watch a rocket launch. Where do they think they go? They think they go, the guy said the reason it takes off and goes like that is so it can get out of sight

and they can land it over in the ocean. I wanna have one of those guys on. Imagine if we could've had one on today. That would've been, no, that would've been not good. And are people really gonna be getting going to Mars? Eventually, we'll go to the moon first again. You know, like we've sent explorers to the moon, 24 people and 12 have walked on the moon.

But later this year, the Chinese are landing a rover on the other side of the moon. The Indian Space Agency is landing a rover on this side of the moon near the South Pole. And the Americans are working hard on putting people on the moon. And yeah, it's the next logical place to go from Earth to all around the Earth to the space station. Next logical place to go live is the moon.

So yeah, we'll do that next. People will live there? Why not? Sure they will, Ricky. Sure they will. Hey, that could be NASA calling for me. Might be. Let me check.

That could be NASA calling to say, I heard you with bubbles. I'm hoping. Heard you with bubbles. Uh-oh. I didn't get to it in time, bubbles. For fuck's sakes. Oh, well, that's all right.

They'll call back if that's who it was. Hey, did you see the Falcon Heavy? What did you think of those two boosters coming down? Landing at the same time. I thought that looked spectacularly good. I thought that was amazing. I thought that was unbelievable. Remember I showed you?

Yes, you did. I didn't think it was real. It was, Ricky. I know, it's just hard to believe that they're- It happened right in front of you. There were about half a million people there to watch it. That's crazy. And they landed exactly the same, just like it looked like something out of a movie.

Yeah, that's just beautiful. But he's done that 23 times now. 23 times he's launched a rocket and had the first stage come back and land either on the ground or on a barge. He's getting good at it. I think he's not very good at it. It can't be just luck. Uh, no.

Ricky, it's called rocket science, bud. There's no luck involved. Well, there is luck, but that's not the thing. Here's a couple other things that I found amazing. First CF-18 pilot to intercept Soviet Tupolev. Bomber. Big TU-95. Great big, looks like a B-52.

Just off the coast here. What's neat is it's a propeller airplane. Yeah. But it's got one propeller that goes this way and one propeller that goes this way, counter-rotating on the same shaft. So it's got these huge engines with these gigantic propellers, and it's up about 30,000 feet. And when you fly up to one and intercept it just off the coast of Canada,

it makes a racket. It's like this gigantic swarm of bees up there just humming and buzzing up there. Oh yeah, inside the F-18, you can hear this great big thing humming and roaring its way. And you intercepted it right by Canada? Yeah, just off the coast of Newfoundland.

Yeah, eight different times, actually. What the hell was it doing? They were, sometimes they were just on their way down to Cuba, and sometimes they were practicing, part way down to Cuba, and sometimes they were practicing part of the Cold War, practicing releasing missiles on North America, and we wanted to show that we could get to them and defend ourselves in time. And what do you say to them when you pull up?

We don't, we're not on the same radio frequency, so we just pull up and fly on the end of their wing. Finger, whatever? Fly on the end of their wing. And, hey, here's a story I've never told anybody, though. We're not supposed to be on the same radio frequency, but it was on the 24th of December, and we had come up on their wingtip,

and we were flying along, and we had escorted them out of Canadian airspace, and just as we were about to leave, over the radio where we're talking to NORAD, to North American Air Defense, on our frequency comes this voice that says, Merry Christmas. That was cool.

That was pretty cool. Those guys were listening to everything they were saying. They were, you know, they're just people inboard their airplane. I mean, if they were coming to actually launch, it might be different. They're soldiers doing their job. And the Cold War, I mean, we never actually got into an armed conflict, which was a good thing. But, yeah, those people in that airplane and me in my airplane, they wished me a Merry Christmas just before I came back and landed. That's decent.

That's cool. Russian Merry Christmas. I always wondered about that. Have you ever met aliens that you're not allowed to talk about to anybody or anything like that? Ricky. So we have never seen life anywhere but from Earth. And we are looking. We are looking.

We're driving rovers around on Mars. So they would tell us? I would tell you. Why wouldn't I? No, not you, but I mean in general. But there's no they. I am they. Okay.

Right? I'm the guy who's flown in space. So why would I keep that a secret? It would make no sense. I'm a Canadian. Who am I going to keep this secret from? What for? Exactly.

You began it for, he's telling it. We're actually seeing planets around other suns. We've seen 5,000 of them. We know that pretty much every star has planets. There has to be, I guess. There has to be. So stars are suns. Yeah, just a... And sun, I guess. So, I, I, there has to be life. So, stars are suns. Yeah, just, uh...

And suns have plants. Yeah. But... Ricky, you know that our sun is a star, right? Yeah, just, it's ours. It's our star, so we call it something. But, yeah, so I think there has to be life, but, but it's not something you either believe or not. We just have no way to know. Right. But, but I mean, if you do the math,

it has to be. I think so. It would be pretty arrogant to think we're the only life, the four of us are the only life that exists, you know, or just this one planet, the only life that exists. That just seems kind of unrealistic. But space is huge and ancient. And didn't NASA just update their estimate that there's like 4 trillion more galaxies than they thought?

Yeah, the numbers are so big they don't even make sense. It's like septillion, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quadrillion, septillion stars. There's no way that we're the only people. I can't even wrap my head around that. Nobody can. Nobody. There's no way we're the only ones. We haven't found anybody. We're looking. We haven't found any life yet. One of these days, once somebody figures out how to build a warp drive, we're good.

Because then we can go, you know, light speed. Then we can make it somewhere. That would help. Light speed. You think we'll ever get to light speed? I don't know how we can do it yet. So it's hard to answer your question. I don't know.

I hope so. We go way faster than we ever thought we could. So whether we can go that fast or not, I don't know, I hope so. We go way faster than we ever thought we could. So whether we can go that fast or not, I don't know. That's right, that's right. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you this one. You were also part of the out of control recovery task program for the Hornet. So you're up there, what is that?

Like you go up and you purposely put the plane out of control? So airplanes, you can always make an airplane spin or tumble if you fly it wrong. But the F-18, when it was new, it started doing some stuff, and they were crashing them out in the fleet, in the Navy, in the Marine Corps. And guys were having to eject out of them. And we didn't really understand how or why or better ways to get them back under control. So as a test pilot, what you do is you figure out an airplane that is not doing what it's supposed to do, you're trying to figure out how to change it

or teach other people how to fly it. So we took, I was in charge of this program, we took an F-18 up high and put it out of control. So it was tumbling end over end, and then I tried a whole bunch of new ways to get it back under control again. Yeah, but what if you can't get it under control? Then, like Yuri Gagarin,

I had an ejection seat underneath me. But can you eject out of a tumbler? Yeah, yeah, we started up high enough so that I had a little while. We fell about a mile and a half in one of them, in tumbling, or I did, until I got it back under control again. And eventually we changed procedures

and we actually changed some of the computers on board so now the F-18's a better airplane. That was an interesting, you changed procedures, and we actually changed some of the computers on board, so now the F-18 is a better airplane. That was an interesting—you're right. That day when I was going to do my very first one, I'm sitting in the cockpit. I've convinced everybody it's safe, but the day I'm going to put this airplane out of control, that was— What do you do when you put it out of control? Stand on the rudder and come on to her? In this one, what you do is you push on the stick just enough that it's sort of—everything's floating a little bit,

and then you stand hard on one rudder, and the airplane will turn sideways, and then it just takes off. It goes sideways, one wing comes up, it flips over like that, and then you're away to the races. So, yeah, it was so violent inside, I cut my hand. My hand was whipping around, hit the throttle. Does it make you dizzy? Yeah, it makes you dizzy. Does it make you dizzy? Yeah, it makes you dizzy.

But we practice in other airplanes going out of control to get used to it so that you know how to do it even when you're dizzy. Decent. That's amazing. Decent. My God. Here, I wanted to, you got some books. I do. You got the kid's book.

I got a kid's book called The Darkest Dark. Darkest Dark, and... About, uh... Somebody here tried to read it and couldn't get through it. I got through a lot of it. It was good. I like books with a little more pictures and stuff, but it was... It's an illustrated book.

Ricky, it has pictures on every page. There's some pages with no words, in fact. But, and we weren't really thinking of you, Ricky, when I wrote the book, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. No, it was a neat story. And so what do you do, tell us what you're doing now. You got a whole bunch of, you've been on a bunch of shows. Yeah, I just did a National Geographic show

about the world, and we call it One Strange Rock, and talking about what the world looks like to an astronaut. And the main host is Will Smith, so he's the actor. actor so he's kind of like every guy and and we talked about that And then I did a show over in England called astronauts. Do you have what it takes? Yeah, I was wondering why I didn't get called You had to be had to be a UK citizen for that Thomas job on earth. Yeah, that's the one that's right toughest job in the universe and What else? What's the YouTube one?

Oh yeah, I got a YouTube series called Rare Earth. It's like interesting stories from all around the planet. We filmed in a bunch of countries. We're filming down in Chile right now. But we were in Cuba recently, and Laos, and Cambodia, and Japan. And there's a lot of interesting stuff happening around the world.

I think people should know about it. When you get on a plane to fly to Chile, are you like, oh my god, this is so annoying. So slow. Normally I'd get there in four minutes. I think that would be, you know, you'd be a bit spoiled. Taking a nine hour flight is going to be too much. You know, the biggest change is gravity or no gravity. When you get used to having no gravity, when everything's floating around weightless,

when you can just push off the wall and fly across the room, coming back to gravity, I mean... Sucks. It sucks. When you came down, I mean, I've watched the video of you coming down in the capsule from the Soyuz

or from the ISS and you land and they have to carry you out of the... Yeah. Is that because you're just like your bones and your muscles are all... Actually, no, you're okay. to carry you out of the... Is that because you're just like your bones and your muscles are all... Actually, no, you're okay. They carry you because the doctors want to draw your blood

and your pee and all the other stuff and they don't want you to readapt to gravity right away. By carrying you, it changes how quickly you're readapting so it gives the doctors a little more time. But your bones are kind of... Our bones are brittle when we come back. We've had a couple guys break their hip within six months of getting back. So we're careful for a while. When you're in space, your bones are brittle when we come back. We've had a couple guys break their hip within six months of getting back,
