Ask Hillary. Can we program them? Or can they be programed.

1. They are already monitoring this thing - how much more monitoring does it warrant?
2. Anna Paulina Luna is a babe and a congress critter, but hardly an expert on space objects. And nobody trusts a Harvard guy’s opinion on anything anymore.
3. There will be 2 more - the Ramans do everything in threes.

I do believe that’s CO Rep. Lauren Boebert, not Luna.

Not that it really matters.

Both would make excellent fishing buddies.

Mini probes?

No wonder we have such utter incompetence in Washington.

A comet has a tail. This does not have a tail.

“ And we need to be aware of that possibility.”

Is this a freakin’ comedy show?

Because we know about ALL of the comets in the Universe. Or are we comparing it to the few comets we’ve seen in our little trailer park of a solar system?

...calling for NASA to monitor the Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it passes the sun on Halloween Eve to ensure it does not drop off “mini probes”

How does NASA ensure anything from millions of miles away?

It will be a Category 6 hurricane. A time traveler told me so.

It’s the Martians that need to be worried about this, could close down their extensive canal system.

And they have Elon Musk coming along too.

It’s not a good time to be a Martian.

No . It is just a comet. Happens all the time. We are only beginning to notice because of the network set up to detect potentially dangerous asteroids.

“This is a joke, right?”

Has to be. “Experts warn” is the tell.
