Quote by Chris Hadfield

“In my experience, fear comes from not knowing what to expect and not feeling you have nay control over what's about to happen. When you feel helpless, you're far more afraid than you would be if you knew the facts. If you're not sure what to be alarmed about, everything is alarming.”
