    For a man that's been to space he is very down to Earth

    I spent 6 years in the Navy, and I still kind of miss the open ocean; I imagine that astronauts have a similar feeling toward space.

    I'm wheezing because now I'm just imagining an astronaut having to do number 2 in the bathroom but one of their poops floats away and drifts pass the other astronauts and they're just sighing like "damn it john, I'm tired of your shit"

    I swear, every video I watch in which astronauts are telling about their time in space, they always seem so pleasant, grounded and fun. Nothing but deep respect and admiration to these men and women.

    The title sounds like astronauts asking stuff about us earth-people. "How does it feel to have gravity?" "Do you guys really just, like, go outside and not die?"

    I heard him talk at Trinity University last year and this man is absolutely mesmerising. His story is incredible. His determination is incredible. I hope I can learn a lot from him.

    Love the joke "Well you'll be a shooting star.... but at least your friends will see you" That is like 9GAG material.
