What kind of experiments do we do in space? Why do we even bother? Is there any benefit to having telescopes in orbit instead of on the ground? I discuss these questions and more in today's Ask a Spaceman!

0:00.0 | You know what time it is. It's time for Ask a Space Man. I'm Paul Sutter. You've got questions, |
0:17.0 | and I've got answers. You know how this show works, but let's review. You go online to Twitter |
0:23.4 | or Facebook, use the hashtag Ask a Spaceman, and Fire Away. I'll pick questions to answer |
0:29.0 | on this show, your questions on this show. How cool is that? If you're not on the Twitters or |
0:35.0 | the Facebooks, you can also go to Ask aSpaceman.com and post on any of the old episodes, any of the show notes. |
0:42.3 | Just ask a question there. Or you can email Ask a Spaceman at gmail.com or in the YouTube comments. I mean, if you can't figure out how to ask a Sp spaceman, then you're pretty much hopeless. |

1:32.2 | I have to do a recording when I can do them. |
1:34.9 | And I happen to be at the New York University campus in Sunny, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. |
1:42.6 | Here I am. |
1:43.4 | You can tell on the video, if you need evidence, |
1:46.0 | I have a little bit of a sunburn on my cheeks. I have some rosy cheeks and there's a spot |
1:52.4 | on the top of my head that hurts when I touch it. I can't do anything about it. I put on loads of sunscreen, |
1:58.5 | but I just got through a winter in the Midwest |
