If you had to choose one person to represent our planet in an interplanetary meeting, who would it be? How do you make an elopement still feel special? Why do I have to take math classes? What would you include in a museum to educate people alive in 2070 about what it was like to be alive in the 2020s? Why do you see weird shapes when you rub your eyes? Is an alligator a fish? …Hank and John Green have answers!

First 90 secondsHank Green· Host0:00
[upbeat music] You're listening to a Complexly podcast. [upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Dear Hank and John.
John Green· Host0:12
Or as I prefer to think of it, Dear John and Hank.
Hank Green· Host0:14
It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give you dubious advice, and bring you all the week's news from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon. John- Yeah ... the astronauts of the Artemis II mission have reported they found some crazy arachnids on the moon.
John Green· Host0:26
Oh.
Hank Green· Host0:26
They're calling them lunatics.
John Green· Host0:29
Hmm. It's all right.
Hank Green· Host0:32
Mm. Yeah. I am happy to be here with you, John. I don't know when... I've no idea when this episode is coming out as we are recording it. So we record s- because John's gonna be out next week, et cetera, um, so we record some out of order. But a- like, today is the day that the rocket is theoretically taking off- Yeah ... at, like, 6:23 PM.
John Green· Host0:57
Well, I, I wish you all the best with that. I hope that it- Wish [scoffs] me? ... gets to the moon.
Hank Green· Host1:03
[laughs] You've, you're experiencing this entirely through the lens of Hank Green?
John Green· Host1:08
Yeah, pretty much, if I'm being honest. Like, I... My, my concerns are very worldly right now, Hank. I am thinking entirely about the fictional movie Andy Warhol Never Gets Old and the two young people at its, uh, center, Kai and Juniper.
Hank Green· Host1:24
They are your worldly as well, uh, rather than, like, the Strait of Hormuz worldly.
