Advice from an astronaut
To the question: “What advice would you give a 13-year-old who wishes to become an astronaut in the future?”, the astronaut Chris Hadfield answered:
3 things:
- keep your body in shape. You get strong at the gym and thin in the kitchen
- get an advanced technical education, one that challenges you, at least a Master’s degree
- make decisions, and stick to them. It’s a skill that gets better with practice.
