Astronaut on how to survive isolation, and the future of space travel - Business Insider

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

"What I've learned flying in space four times is the fear sometimes allows you to focus, but if you dwell on it, it will prevent you from making the right decision and doing the right thing." So he says he would tamp down the fear by focusing on the things he could control, which he says applies to the current situation as well.

So I came up with a plan. And part of my plan was maintaining a very, very rigid, rigid schedule. Easy to do when you're working for NASA and they build your schedule, but taking that very seriously as a schedule that has a variety of activities on it during the week, from work to taking care of your environment, making sure it's clean. We have to do that now.

I think also one thing NASA was good at was always thinking about what is the next worst possible failure? And I think people need to be considering that. What actions do I take if one of my family members get sick, who do I call? What do I do? If I lose my job if I can't pay my rent, where can I get relief? I mean, even if you don't need it, you need to be thinking about, well what if I do need it next week or the week after, so you're prepared.

My wife was telling me, I guess the other day she kind of got a little bit frustrated with what I do with the dishes and I think I do the dishes. I certainly put them in the sink, I put them in the dishwasher sometimes, I take them out sometimes. But what I wasn't doing was following the approved system, which was her system, which is actually a really good system. The only thing is she never told me what the system was. So I did it a different way and it turns out it bothered her.

Does he have his kids with him on board, homeschooling, distance learning? Nooooooo.

Does he have any lessons on how people should deal with mass long term unemployment? Because, of course, once the lockdown and furlough scheme ends, most corporations are going to axe their staff numbers - as Mnuchin says.

A pandemic happens every 700 years, Scott.
