@Risk: Rockets, Rovers and Reaching for the Stars with Dr. Farah Alibay and Col. Chris Hadfield

[...] So we make the spaceship dark and we cover the windows and we sort of turn down all the lights to pretend it's nighttime, and then try and make it quiet. [...] Because we recognize that the amount of sweat and tears that go into allowing us to be the people making the decisions to whether this is going to succeed or not, and to me the sort of biggest impact of that at my own level is a huge obligation to constantly try and get better at what I’m doing. [...] And just constantly when the moment comes to have done everything that I possibly could to be able to do what I need to do in and amongst the team on that day. [...] I mean Chris mentioned it a little bit earlier that it's not just the doing or the building of the spacecraft that's hard, the testing and the rigs that you have to use, you have to invent that too.
