Chris Hadfield Quotes

I Think My Response To Hearing That Alarm Would Have Been To Grab An Extinguisher And Start Fighting For My Life, But Over The Past 21 Years That Instinct Has Been Trained Out Of Me And Another Set Of Responses Has Been Trained In, Represented By Three Words: Warn, Gather, Work. "Working The Problem" Is NASA-speak For Descending One Decision Tree After Another, Methodically Looking For A Solution Until You Run Out Of Oxygen. We Practice The "warn, Gather, Work" Protocol For Responding To Fire Alarms So Frequently That It Doesn't Just Become Second Nature; It Actually Supplants Our Natural Instincts.
