Initially it will seem controversial to crash this into the planet earth for easy mining, but I'm sure someone can justify wiping out half a continent for it, it's money after all :)
- caffeinatedgoat 6y agoCrash it into The Moon instead... What a spectacle that would be for Earthlings.
- bookofjoe 6y agoSpeaking of which: "The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason." >That's the explosive beginning to a new novel called "Seveneves" by sci-fi writer Neal Stephenson. That event, the breakup of the moon into seven big pieces, kicks off 800 pages of love, death and heavy-duty engineering, as humankind races to save itself from a storm of fiery moon rock. This is a fantastic book; prepare to abandon sleep.
