Chris Hadfield meets Randall Munroe : 'Are we alone in this universe?'
The Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield spent five months in 2012 and 2013 twirling around the Earth in command of the International Space Station. Hadfield guesses he made several thousand orbits of the planet during that time, and though he was never exactly bored, he certainly found some novel hobbies. The American artist Randall Munroe knows something, too, about capturing an audience in the age of the fast and fickle online share; “romance, sarcasm, math and language." He is a longstanding admirer of Hadfield, and asked Weekend to get in touch with the astronaut, which is where this link leads to, discussing the hobbies they enjoy more than anything. They talk about a range of things, starting at pop culture...progressing all the way to debating about the recent attacks in Syria and Islamic states.
