It already has the autonomy it needs — there’s a long radio lag to the rendezvous point — and it’s remarkable how well the craft recovered from the first harpoon failure.

It looks to me like it’s lying upside down in a ditch.

The other advantage to having what I suggested is the ability to hop all over it especially since the gravity is so low.

And the thruster failure. And the spin of the rock. And the contradictory directions of the angles of repose all over the thing.

Remarkable isn't the half of it.
