“We think that binary asteroids form when you have a single asteroid that gets spun up so fast that the whole thing splits in two and goes through this crazy dance,” Scheeres said.

[binary asteroids]
Do they self-identify as meteors or mass-challenged planets?
There is work being done with the aim of creating relatively robust and inexpensive spacecraft using a combination of carbon fiber tech and sintering. The sintering would be used on mainly the leading edges of small wings and the underside...where re-entry heat is extreme...even carbon fiber cannot stand up to re-entry heat extremes.
These would be created using very large scale 3D printing techniques.
Sintering is used to form a heat shield from metals and ceramics...along with a polishing step because heat shields need to be VERY smooth.

I once dated binary twin red-heads. They were “out of this world” (in my dreams).
What about non-binary asteroids? “What if I like my mustache?” < /AOC >
I guess most asteroids are non-binary. Super trendy!
