>Astronomers are monitoring an object headed our way that may have wandered over from another star system.

>It’s too soon to know whether the object, designated for now as A11pl3Z, is a rocky asteroid or a icy comet or an alien spaceship, or how big and what shape it is. More observations are needed to confirm its origins. NASA said it is monitoring the situation.

>Astrophysicist Josep Trigo-Rodriguez of the Institute of Space Sciences near Barcelona, Spain, believes it is an interstellar object based on its odd path and extreme speed cutting through the solar system. He estimates its size at roughly 25 miles (40 kilometers) across.

Finally something happens. This is it, our POLITICAL overlords are arriving. Bless the stars.

k keep me posted

Deport comets. You are not welcomed.

Can we attempt to send a mission this time? It will unite the planet in purpose. Elon really disappointed me when he didn't try it with the retarded oumoumoua or whatever the fuck it was named.

>>509352679
If it actually approaches near earth, that would be an awesome mission.

Nice link you useless fuck

>>509352754
Retards will say the delta v is too high. Just boost the first mission, let them explore the object and disembark, send another mission to pick them up.

>>509352177 (OP)
Hope it hits us in the next two weeks.
>It's like 50 years away
damn

>>509352177 (OP)
After Omuamua or whatever it was called, I imagine this is gonna be one of those stories they repeat every couple of years.

>>509352177 (OP)
Hopefully the ayyys give us healthcare

Very little chance of that happening
It's coming in just inside the orbit of Mars but is moving far too fast for anything we launch to "catch up" to it from a direct launch
Relative to the Sun, it'll be moving 67km/s
Voyager was ~40km/s at its fastest

This. Make Monmatia great again.

Our entire universe is in a black hole, let that sink in

I have a special post that predicted what you were gonna say and explained why you are wrong >>509353057

>>509353221
They're coming to evacuate the white population from earth because the planet is gonna get btfo by asteroid in the next few years.

>A11pl3Z is most likely a large asteroid, or maybe a comet, potentially spanning up to 12 miles (20 kilometers). It is traveling toward the inner solar system at around 152,000 mph (245,000 km/h) and is approaching us from the part of the night sky where the bar of the Milky Way is located.

i want probes spammed all throughout the solar system. i want 1080 footage of titan, io, enceladus. i want another voyager probe with superior technology and transmission. i want a fucking space battleship that can blow up asteroids with space torpedoes and rail guns. FUCK

>>509353485
I don't see any kind of "explanation" in either of your posts, just a vague idea of something that would be hard to do in Kerbal Space Program, much less here on Earth since we only have about 3 months

>>509352679
That's fucking gay. We should be sending like 50 nukes at it. Can't let some object wander into our neighborhood without us humans showing how badass we are. Gotta show aliens they ain't shit.

Mr Norris pointed out that modelling estimates there could be as many 10,000 interstellar objects drifting through the solar system at any given time.

>>509352679
'Not feasible' to intercept new object

God you’re a fucking flaming faggot of the lowest blackest niggerest gorilla order

>Content slop

>>509353287
Your image shows it coming well inside the orbit of mars…
It actually small chance collision with mars as well.

Can you imagine is a 20km wide object at this speed hit mars?

>>509352177 (OP)
I'm too old for this shit.

>>509354092
>hit mars
not my problem

>>509353512
It will be nice to go home to the stars then I’m ready

>>509354092
>Can you imagine is a 20km wide object at this speed hit mars?
Assuming a 20km diameter and ~85kps from the simulation I linked above, and the default for this calculator of 2500 kg/m3

Total equivalent energy is:
9,041,589,755 Megatons of TNT
9 Petatons
Tsar Bomba, the biggest nuclear detonation on Earth, was 50 Megatons

I thought I saw a meteorite yesterday but it was just starlink fucking up the night sky

Kino. Much better show than Shoemaker–Levy 9

Sorry, the best we can do is flood your country with immigrants and have you pay for it.
