You know what time it is. It's time for Ask a Spaceman. I'm your host, Paul Sutter. You've got questions, and I've got answers. Yay. Everybody wins. You know how this show works, but I'm going to tell you

So their question was, are we really made of stars?

So you're going to hear the live recording of the talk I gave at Lime, Ohio last week.

And at the beginning, I have pictures in the talk and obviously you can't see pictures because you just hear my voice and stuff.

There's a painting I refer to at the beginning

That's, that's why I used to start my talk because that's how I roll. All right. So speaking of rolling,
