Cool!

Here’s what we do...

Fly out there with a gigantic rocket engine that will be powered by the moons hydrocarbons. Light it up, fly it to earth and park it in a geosynchronous orbit, then build the pipeline!

How about -— just get it in a big blob and lob on the correct trajectory to be captured -— who needs a tanker?

It’ll stick to itself fine.

More importantly, this is a great source of fuel for colonization of the rest of the solar system, once the muzzies make the Earth unihabitable with whatever nukes they set off.
