Only here to say the subject line was adorable.

pretty cool to have something like this happen

I’m actually relieved that we’re finally exploring something like this lol.
Even though we can apparently only monitor a small portion of space, so we might still get a surprise asteroid

With so much of the world being a shitshow its reassuring for someone to be like hmm let's actually plan for our survival for once.

There is sooo much money being spent on far, far more useless shit, never mind money being just plain wasted by governments and disappearing into peoples pockets via corruption etc.
I think there are immense benefits of space exploration beyond just finding another place to live. This, for instance, was to make our place on Earth more secure
