COAST TO COAST AM – November 2021. Chris Hadfield, former Commander of the International Space Station, discussed his journeys as an astronaut, as well as his new novel, a thriller about the Cold War and the space race. Life on the space station is quite busy, he noted, as about 200 different experiments are being run at any one time, and there is a long list of maintenance tasks and repairs that need attention. While there, your time is scheduled down into five-minute increments, and instead of being bored or claustrophobic, "it's like this constant race to just try and keep up," he added. Many astronauts develop vision problems because of the lack of gravity, which changes the tearing function. For Hadfield, he was temporarily blinded after a contamination issue during a spacewalk.
