Bye Bye Cassini

What if you could weaponize asteroids the way the bugs did in Starship troopers? Instead of sending a rock to destroy beunos aires, you could launch one at the caliphate or islamabad. Riyadh wouldn't be a bad choice either lol


If the UN tried to call you on it, you just blame the bugs. "It was that big fucker with the brain straw. The one that killed Denise Richard's boyfriend! It was him!"

You should read the Expanse books.

I think the problem with dropping rocks is that to get one through without burning up its going to cause such a huge explosion that your rock to Mecca might accidentally wipe out that whole quarter of the world.

Rods from God is a more elegant solution

Even the Moon can be a Harsh Mistress.

See if you can read into this,

Sorry Nerds, But Colonizing Other Planets Is Not A Good Plan

The goal of colonizing to preserve the human species rather than evacuate all humans doesn't make sense either. If there are habitable planets within reach, then there must be many, many habitable planets that aren't within reach. In this case the Drake Equation implies humans are not alone in the universe, and therefore our existence is far less special, lowering the benefit of preserving humanity. In a world of other habitable planets, saving the actual life on earth grows in importance compared to preserving the species somewhere in the universe.
