Summary

Dipak Srinivasan (@dipaksrinivasan), the External Engagements Lead with Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (and Andy's former college classmate and roommate) returns to talk with Andy, Jesse and Matt about tomorrow's launch of NASA's first planetary defense mission, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which will travel to the binary asteroid system Didymos over the course of next year to crash into the moonlet asteroid Dimorphos in an attempt to change its path and learn about how to prevent a real-life reboot of Armageddon and/or Deep Impact.

0:02.0	Hello and welcome to probably science. My name's Andy Wood.
0:13.5	I'm Jesse Case. And I'm Matt Kirshan. We nailed it on take two.
0:17.8	We did it. We were recording this time? The listeners don't know. Yeah, we just went like
0:22.5	two hours without recording you guys and then Matt was eating the whole time. It was mayhem.
0:27.1	Well, I mean, that's probably for the better, isn't it? Because our listeners hate it while we
0:30.3	eat into the mic, so it's probably good that two hours worth of that was missing from their recording. Yeah, a lot of misophonia out there. I have it myself. There's got to be people who have that as a fetish who just aren't writing in. So what if...

1:07.9	Speaking of special episodes, you know, it's kind of a bummer that we just have another comedian.
1:09.4	We're doing science stories today, you guys.
1:10.0	No. What? Jesse, we don't, comedian. We're doing science stories today, you guys. No. We should.
1:11.2	What?
1:13.0	Jesse, we don't, actually.
1:13.7	What's going on?
1:14.2	What are you talking about? Today is one of those rare special occasions when we have a person who's not going to
1:18.8	answer nothing when we ask what their background in science is.
