Description

Kyle sits down with Chris to discuss the path to becoming a Navy SEAL, cave operations in Northern Afghanistan, the responsibilities of being a NASA Astronaut and life on the International Space Station. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, Chris Cassidy spent 11 years and four deployments operating as a Navy SEAL, before becoming a NASA Astronaut. Over the next 17 years, as an astronaut, Chris made three trips to space, completed 54 hours of spacewalk time and served as the Commander of the International Space Station for over six months. His time as an astronaut culminated with his selection as NASA’s 14th Chief Astronaut. Today, Chris serves as the President of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. The National Medal of Honor Museum is currently being built in Arlington, Texas and will open Fall/Winter of 2024. If you would like to know more about Chris’s journey, you can follow him on Instagram @Astro_Seal or watch the incredible documentary, Among The Stars, on Disney+, which highlights his journey as an astronaut and his time as Commander of the International Space Station.
