This episode of Aska Spaceman is brought to you by my friends at BetterHelp. Better Help provides

0:06.7

easy, convenient, affordable access to online counseling and therapy. And therapy has been an

0:15.2

important part of my life experience is something I'm absolutely not ashamed to talk about. I wish more people

0:23.6

use to therapists and counselors to take better care of their own mental health, just like

0:28.8

they take care of their physical health. I know a lot of you tune into this show for astrotherapy

0:36.3

as a word, but maybe if you're having a really tough time,

0:39.7

you should talk to an actual professional. And so I encourage you to go to better help. They are

online. You don't have to wait in a waiting room or any of that. You just talk to

1:38.7

Oh, and there was that one episode about falling into a black hole where I got something wrong about the horizon, what you'd

1:46.1

experience there. And so I redid that episode. So that kind of counts. But as you know, I do not

1:51.9

have a lot of notes in front of me when I record. I sit in front of my microphone and I keep talking

1:57.2

until I'm done talking. Thankfully, I have a wonderful editor shout out to Kathy,

2:02.7

so I sound somewhat coherent. But anyway, a few weeks or months, what is time anyway?

2:09.3

I did an episode on the age of the universe and the current so-called crisis in cosmology.

2:17.2

Originally, it was supposed to be an episode on how do we measure
