STORY

Even if I am an adult, I still have some heroes in my life whom I deeply admire. One of them is Commander Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who recorded his famous David Bowie interpretation directly on the International Space Station. I was listening to it and his audiobook “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything”, while I was working on this beaded spaceship.

And even if I have never been on a space walk and went blind while being outside of the spaceship, and have never found a snake while flying a jet like he did, his genuine, self-collected words about this experiences helped me many times when I was in the need of a cool-headed, composed reaction.
