Chris Hadfield has to be the coolest guy ever... (I wanted to say 'in the world' but...)

[TrashLuvr]

Imaging sitting there then a toe nail just floats by

[vacuumboy.]

how do you vacuum in space! i wanna see

[aiairnd]

i wish i could have a million views of me cutting my nails

[TheWiseDucky]

Lol I'm having a marathon of these space videos. They're so addicting!

[thattheretyguy]

billions of dollars worth of the worlds best tech...
i saw a nail clipper that collected the clippings in a little plastic tray that you empty into the garbage at walmart for $2.99
but the air vent thing works too i guess

[bonk]

It's funny seeing how his watch moves on his wrist, when he is moving his arm :P

A bit like a lifehack.... but.. in hmm. Love how its so casual XD

Mr Hadfield you are the coolest person in the universe :) You made space part of our everyday lives and thank you for all the joy you gave to the world by sharing your experiences.

What if someone dies on the ISS? What happens to the body, how would the crew deal with that situation?

[Bees_Animations]

A video no one asked for.
But everyone needed.

[SimbaOS]

Amazing. It's really interesting to see how simple daily tasks that we take for granted are looking in space. Thanks. :)

What's even funnier is that later, when Kevin Ford opened up the vent, all the fingernails came flying out, and he told Chris to vacuum them when he clips them

[stinkyrunner]

Watch the video again, and check out the writing by the air vent! For such a high-tech space station, how come they still need to write instructions on how to remove an air vent??? This written reminder now proves that humans, from the planet earth, do live on this space craft! Great Video Chris! Love your humour!

[mickbreiting]

They Got a air system in the ship so yes they can make vacuum

[alkasaket]

I love that he says he is cutting his nails for guitar playing and in the captions it says guitar music.

If I could be any man for a day. I would be Chris Hadfield. Even now when he's on Earth.

I'm reading though Chris's book and he mentions this video... and how the weekend after Kevin Ford, the expedition commander, took the cover off the intake so he could clean the filter "thereby launching a hive of [Chris's] dead fingernails into his face and everywhere else."

Still, a fine method for orbital nail trimming; just remember to vacuum up afterwards!

Imposter:hi, do you know where is the vent?
Chris:oh yeah, follow me.
(Both of them reaches the vent)
Chris:Here is it.
Imposter:okay thanks, lemme just get inside the vent.
(After getting inside)
Imposter :Why is there something sharp coming here.Wait what-

[doubled]

this is literally the most awesome series of videos ever to exist
