Greetings planetary radio listeners. I suspect we space geeks have been joined by a lot of

okay go fans so welcome newbies. We've been here talking about space exploration

for more than 12 years.

It's always fun when someone from the arts turns our stem into steam,

and this is one of those shows.

As you'll hear, even our CEO, Bill Nye, the Science Guy Guy had a question for Damien and Tim.

Before we get into the actual show I've got a special bonus to play for you.

I was still setting up my interview equipment when Damien brought up the big science announcement

made on February 11th the same day the guys released the upside down and

inside out zero-g video. My recorder was running so I'm able to share this brief clip with you.

I heard that there's someone we sent the video to it was like you know there's big science news coming on Thursday but I didn't know what it was.

Oh that's the gravity. In fact that's Bill's little piece that he does with me on this

week's show.

Einstein's theory predicted gravity waves and they've been working at trying to detect them for like I don't

know 30 40 years now everybody suspects that the big announcement on Thursday will be that

this new new and improved detector has found gravity

waves on the day that our zero gravity video yes you guys are making waves in the

universe obviously that That is awesome.

I was like, actually really worried.

I was like, I was like,

going to talk, like, the first photographs of planet nine

or something that was just like going to be way more interesting
