A man can dream, tho. A man can dream...

If it actually hits Earth, I hope it scores a dead center on either Berlin or Beijin.

That's nine planets around a sun, right? Looks like the sun has some kind of nebula. Is that flare or something?

Must be having stage-fright.

Huh. Yeah, it does.

Why are they using a picture that makes it look like the asteroid was moon-sized?

It was a joke, dude.

"Elon Musk - Communist-approved and -endorsed!" That'd be one hella scenario for a "Both the USA and the UdSSR survive to the year 2022" ATL.

I'm not saying that Bezos should fly one of his rockets into their HQ. But it's sooo difficult to pilot a spacecraft once it gets locked into a flight-path, no?

Of course a demorat tries to strangle another way to escape their grasp in its crip.

Did he buy a fancy cape yet? Is he working on an 80s 'stache?

I'm sure Bezos is in tears over the hate of lesser beings.

And yet, it's something we must overcome if we want our species to get anywhere meaningful at all.

That was the one where the dark side of the moon was supposed to be inspected, right? Maybe that mission left a collective trauma on the collective conciousness of Humanity. "Don't venture out too far, or your ship will explode"?

Come to think of it, what was the furthest a human being was away from Earth? The Moon, probably, because I don't recall any mentions of astronauts spending time beyond that orbit. It's weird how confined to Earth's gravity well we are...

Everything is in gradual decay...

The development and deployment of such an organization is a necessity if we want to explore and colonize space. But "space trash men" isn't as sexy as being an astronaut, so people either don't focus on it or they don't know about it because of the former.

That's a dumb argument. It's in the same vein as "We should first fix EVERY bad thing on Earth before we try to colonize Space!" and then withdrawing all funding for space-agencies. Just because of a few flaws, we are supposed to stay all on Earth forever? Fuck that.

Hmm, I do look forward to learning about how wood behaves in space. Space is rather warm from what I understood.

That is an interesting way of doing this. How stable is wood in space anyway?
