In this episode of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard is joined by Chris Cassidy: Navy Seal, Astronaut and star of Disney+’s documentary series “Among the Stars” that airs this week. He talks about his experience as NASA’s Chief Astronaut, filming his final mission for Disney, the life threatening situations he encountered and being in space while the world was in COVID lockdown.

Chris also details his experience as a US Navy Seal, what it takes to make it in the special forces, and how this prepared him for life as an astronaut.

He illustrates how his fascinating career was a journey to his current role as President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Musuem Foundation (NMOHMF) in Arlington, TX. He talks of his pride in leading this project to preserve and commemorate the stories of the US Military’s most courageous service people, recipients of the Medal of Honor, the US’s highest award for valor in combat.

A powerful conversation with an awe-inspiring leader and true American hero.
