India is not currently a threat to Western hegemony so it gets a pass in my book

If a) the BJP starts to oppress Christians (western sympathisers) or b) India starts to threaten the west then we should hate them

Next up, finding a valuable metal rich or fuel chemical rich asteroid and nudging it into a geostationary orbit so we can mine that shit for resources.

Ofc this is when we frick up and us technology meant to save us to kill ourselves

I don't think that will become financially viable before we have space faring capabilities and by that time it would be better to use the materials in space or on colonizable planets.

It's time for the universe to learn that Earth is a conservative planet and we don't want any more QUEERS or HOMOSEXUALS or LARGE-DIAMETER ASTEROIDS THAT WILL CAUSE A MASS EXTINCTION EVENT NOT SEEN IN 60 MILLION YEARS. :marseybountyhunter:

Don’t worry, we are going to accidentally put an asteroid on collision course with a super advanced civilization and they will come and exterminate us for it.

Its so funny to me for some reason that you have the movie armageddon that basically required us to send up oil drillers to plant nukes hundreds of feet deep into an asteroid, and in reality all you have to do just just smash a satellite into it and momentum will do the rest.

I mean this ones like a 100m wide asteroid, the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs was around 10-15 km wide. So obviously we have to hit it with a far bigger object. Probably something a 100 times larger. Like 4 starships at once...you know what...you right we could totally survive surprise asteroid impacts as long as the program was funded well.

Now we still gotta figure out how to survive a bad solar flare or a gamma ray burst.

Couldn’t you still get away with hitting a several km wide asteroid with a regular satellite if you timed it well enough in advance? A teensy knock while it’s real far away should alternate it’s course enough, right?

Just load up one spaceship with 20 tsar bomba sized nukes and im sure youll have enough force to at least change its momentum.
