| 0:00.0 | Hello, explorers and welcome along to a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly. |
| 0:06.7 | This is the only podcast that will take you on a journey around the solar system and will discover some science secrets. |
| 0:13.4 | So let's get to it, yeah? |
| 0:15.9 | My name's Dan. |
| 0:17.3 | Thank you so much for listening. |
| 0:19.0 | This week, we will discover why men have nipples too. What's that about? |

| 1:20.0 | The chemical building blocks of life have been found in the grainy dust of an asteroid called Benu. |
| 1:26.7 | Now, you might remember we spoke to an expert about this |
| 1:29.2 | a few months ago about a NASA mission. It was sending a spacecraft up to this asteroid trying to |
