This is a review of the Chris Hadfield Teaches Space Exploration class from MasterClass!
The MasterClass Instructor – Chris Hadfield
This class opens with some amazing scenes of earth from space and with an introduction to who Chris Hadfield is. For those who are not familiar, he was the Commander of the International Space Station and first Canadian to go to space. Not only is he a decorated astronaut, engineer, and pilot, he is known for his YouTube videos which brought exploring space back home to millions of viewers.
Referred to as “the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong,” Colonel Chris Hadfield is a worldwide sensation whose video of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”—seen by over 75 million people online—was called “possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created,” by Bowie himself. Acclaimed for making outer space accessible to millions, and for infusing a sense of wonder into our collective consciousness not felt since humanity first walked on the Moon, Colonel Hadfield continues to bring the marvels of science and space travel to everyone he encounters.
In this class, Chris Hadfield brings space exploration to viewers like never before. His class is focused on exploration and he goes into everything from rocket mechanics to how to spacewalk. In this class, viewers get to learn the ins and outs of the intensive astronaut training, how to navigate a spaceship to the ISS, what it is like when you get to the ISS, and then a great lesson on what Chris believes is the next frontier, getting to Mars.
Space Exploration – Who is it for?
This class is for anyone who is interested in exploration. Chris talks about how this class is for anyone interested in not just exploring space, but exploring the unknown, a new idea, or the things one might be capable of. While this class does focus specifically on space exploration, the determination, imagination, and hard work required to become an astronaut can be applied to everyone.
