I really love Avi Loeb. The search for potential fragments of an interstellar comet at the bottom of the ocean was a long shot, and that’s what’s so great about

I really love Avi Loeb. The search for potential fragments of an interstellar comet at the bottom of the ocean was a long shot, and that’s what’s so great about it. We need many more scientists who are willing to look at far out ideas while remaining very rational and scientific about it. We have plenty of stick to the tried and true conservative scientists and plenty of cranks. Edit: if we see another object like Oumuamua I would love it if we had a “chase probe” ready. It was going so fast at such a weird trajectory intercepting would have been extremely hard but having something ready to send on a flyby seems reasonable. Some great close up photos and spectroscopy would go a long way.
