0:00.0 | You know what time it is. It's time for Ask a Space Man. I'm your host, Paul Sutter. You've got questions and I've got answers. You know how this show works. I know we've been through this before, but here's a quick |
0:22.5 | rundown. You go online to Twitter, Facebook, use the hashtag Ask a Space Man. Send me some questions, |
0:29.3 | and I will answer them. Hence the title of the show, Ask a Space Man. I'm the Spaceman. You're the one |

1:29.9 | or I mention a little fact or a little nugget and I say, it's going to be another episode. |
1:36.8 | And I basically beg you to ask me that follow-up question so I can devote an entire episode |
1:44.1 | to that one little topic. |
1:45.3 | And I did that recently. |
1:47.2 | I was talking about the universe, which I talk about a lot because when you're talking about |
