I have a telescope buyer's guide that I send to people. I don't make any money from it. It's just I love to share science with the public, just like you. But in my case, it's astronomy. And for $50 or $75, you can have this experience that Galileo had. It's an awesome feeling. I think that's what kept me going.

It distracted me from the pains of the life that I had at that time and just struggling as most preteens and teenagers did. But to answer your question that you asked 20 minutes ago, it was really to transport, teleport exactly the opposite of the telescope. I really felt like I was transported to these other worlds. And I could understand them with simple math and simple tools.

Night after night, they were reliable companions and that people love to see it. You'll see Saturn hopefully with it. You can't help but feel this is amazing. It's thrilling. And it allows you to do science with your eyes connected to your mind. It's incredible.

What's great about science in general is that the best science is apolitical. But I always say, look, there's no such thing as like, oh, well, that constellation is a democratic constellation. Oh, see that asteroid? That's a – no, it is a safe space. I think we do need safe spaces and at best science is a safe space, not meaning it never interacts with politics because of course it does.

But for those moments, we as humans – and you know this better than I do. We need to – we need recovery. You can't just work out – you don't work out seven days a week. You work out six days a week or whatever. It's still more than – Six more than I work out. But the point is we need to recover as much as we need to pay attention to the activity. We need to recover or pay attention to that too.

And so the question is where can we recover from social media, from politics, from economic stress and all – I think science is an ideal vehicle for it. It should be apolitical. We shouldn't be always concerned with politics or what's happening on social media. And I'm guilty of this too. I'm certainly spending way too much time on screens. But the point being, science can be that.

And astronomy in particular, like I said, is apolitical. It is safe to let your mind run to what you used to do When you were on a dorm with your bros at 3 a.m., just BSing, right? We don't get a chance to do that when you're thinking about mortgage payments and who's taking the kids tomorrow and all these different quotidian things. We need to get back to that more than ever, I feel.
