Not without a 10-year, multi-million dollar environmental impact study.
The little sucker will have scampered out of reach by then.

What a suprise Willie: you must think that this too is an evil deed of American corporations and capitalism in general, which you hate so much.

Was that really called for ?

It's only a matter of time till one of these things goes whangin' into the earth, most likely an ocean strike. Tick, tick, tick ... the day gets closer and closer.

I wonder if we can stick a computer controlled solar sail on it and keep it in orbit, steering it a little closer to Earth over time? It would make good raw materials for a BIG space station.

How sad, I'd had a better opinion of you. For the record, Willie's been here longer than you and has more friends.

Willie, there already are pagan moon-goddess cults, werewolves, all that. Do we really deserve to be mooned again?:

That's not outerspace. The new moon is behind that white cloud.

Oh. Okay. I was having an anxiety attack, thinking the Monnolith was going through a major change, again.

Well if it were ½ or ¼ the size of our real Moon,
I think it'd be a hellatiously cool sight that I'd give my eyeteeth to see.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention if it's gonna be visible to the naked eye.
