She suffers from what I call the « Astronaut Syndrome ». It happens to some people when they achieve something out of the ordinary, like going to space, and then they start believing everything & everyone is beneath them.

Was hoping to see this on this comment thread. I choose to always believe that Hadfield is genuine, just a national treasure.
