00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:01,501
I heard there's an asteroid.

2
00:00:01,501 --> 00:00:02,836
Tell me about it.

3
00:00:04,270 --> 00:00:06,639
Hi, I'm Adam McKay,
 director of Don't Look Up.

4
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:13,380
Our movie is about three scientists
 who tried desperately to warn the planet

5
00:00:13,747 --> 00:00:17,017
of an impending doomsday
 comet and are ignored.

6
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:20,587
Our movies made up
 it's a comedy, but in fact,

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,825
the brilliant scientists at NASA
 are actually launching a mission.

8
00:00:25,892 --> 00:00:30,430
It's called DART,
 the double asteroid redirection test.

9
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:34,434
And what they're going to test is,
 can you send up a mission

10
00:00:34,434 --> 00:00:38,171
that can deflect an asteroid
 and steer it away from Earth

11
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:41,674
if, God forbid, something like that
 were ever to happen?
