As a bonus, you could smite your enemies with your space loot. Two birds for one stone.
That’s excellent. Now we just have to get meteorites to wear orange flags when they fall.
Nothing stopping these ‘interceptors’ to re-aim a meteor so it hits a target on the planet earth.
Swell, just one little misunderstanding, and the drones will mistakenly Go after Mennonites
I found one once, it said ‘made in china’
Or old Mercury cars.....................
Then in 2032 one large meteor set off the drone wars.
You need to detect the meteorite. You need to get close to it. Then you need to teach the drone to find the hottest thing it can see. The second one is by far the hardest.
Me too. When I was a kid, I found one along the railroad tracks. It was beautiful: bright purple, rectangular in shape, with deep black striations. I knew it had to be from outer space, so I took it to the town’s chief rock hound, who even had his own rock hound business, to help me identify it.
“Meh,” he said, “They’re nothing. They’re everywhere.”
C’mon, man! Who’s he think he’s kidding. I was eleven. I’d been everywhere and they weren’t there. Clearly, he was trying to cheat me.
I don’t know what happened to it over the ensuing 50 years, but it disappeared somehow. I figure the Neptunians came one day and took it back, in the middle of the night. Never seen one like it before or since.
I laughed at that also.
I’d be going back to the tracks to see if there are anymore of them, could be life changing If it was one.
I did some prospecting for ‘Herkimer Diamonds’ once (not real diamonds, they are a type of clear quartz, worth a little bit of money), and paid to go into a site to dig. Didn’t find squat. I was heading back home when I noticed the banking along the road leading down to a river was li Ed with the same type rocks that I was just searching in the pit area. I stopped just out of curiosity, and broke open a bunch of the rocks (the crystals form in small pockets inside the rocks), and found quite a stash of the ‘diamonds’. Still, got some, but gave most away, they aren’t worth a whole lot rea.ly, just cool to have if a person likes to collect rocks and minerals of various kinds.
Lol, Mennonites everywhere are quaking ... sorry, bad joke
The 500 meteorites fall and survive each year is wrong. Must have meant to say 500 meteorites are seen falling and survive each year.
Approximately 100 tons a day fall to earth.
The meteorites will start wearing signs:
“Catch me if you can, yo!”
They really are seeking kryptonite to stop Trump.
I noticed that, too.
