I saw that show.
You have to fly a starship into it to stop it.

What passes for a detailed view for one fellow doesn’t pass as a detailed view for another, or any with functioning eyesight.

At this point it’s all fake and gay until I see it for myself.

I heard the asteroid identifies as a comet.

Perhaps you’d prefer one of those idiotic and utterly useless “artist’s conception” images? I understand that they appeal to a certain sort of person ...
I appreciate seeing real RADAR imagery. Actual data are far superior to fiction.

It’s an inert chunk of rock, orbiting in the vast wastes of interplanetary space.
As such, it is a more valuable part of the grand scheme of the universe than F. Joe Biden.

No, I prefer imaging with a decent optics and properly exposed media from a range that allows viewing surface texture. Please, be happy with your blobs.

flew past Earth at a distance of about 1.1 million miles (1.8 million kilometers, or a little under five times the distance between the Moon and Earth). Your puny terrestrial optical telescopes will avail you nothing at that distance.
Now ... if you want to send a small spacecraft, with a nice suite of imaging and spectroscopic instruments on board, to pay it an up close visit ... I might be on board with you on that endeavor.

I don't have any interest in rocks that far away. Knowledge of them serves no useful purpose, especially when that knowledge lacks detail in all fields of endeavor.
The only thing I want to know about those things is their probability of hitting Washington DC during the State of the Union Address.
But, be happy with those pixelated images of sandy-looking turds.
