It’s important to start crashing asteroids into the planet now, before there is a spacecraft overhang and potentially many asteroids could be deorbited at the same time. This gives us the opportunity to learn about any dangers from asteroid impact. A great many doomers claim it will kick dust into the atmosphere and cause global cooling, or that gigaton explosions on impact are untested and risk causing damage, but they have no recent empirical evidence.
All we have is some fossils and 66 million year old data! Let’s find out what really happens empirically. Move fast and break things. Think of all the benefits.
In other related news, I’ve got a tender offer with some unnamed funders to start an 8 Trillion heavy spacecraft manufacturing venture. This will pay for facilities earth and moonside to construct spacecraft with the capabilities to move larger asteroids than ever before.
In any case, we don’t have a choice. It’s a race. Our only chance to survive the future in this situation is to have our own warships and asteroid movers in space as well, or hide under the umbrella of allies who do...
