Extremely eldritch.

Gives life, blinds you by looking at it, tears your skin apart on a molecular level, unaware of our existence....

When you don't understand electromagnetic forces but you do know the sky lights up and screams at you sometimes, well that's a good basis for a deity. Most ancient cultures have one.

You're right. An f-15 with our first ASM. Way back in the mid 80s.

Makes me wonder what kind of sophisticated ASM's we might have now. Or perhaps other anti satellite munitions.

Personally I'm hoping for big ass lasers, for obvious reasons.

Yep you're right. My B

Also, BYU? Hi neighbor.

JFK 2.0 - "We choose to do this thing not because it is easy, but because it is supremely fucking cool"

Getting from orbit to the moon is many magnitudes more difficult than getting from orbit back to earth.

If we were able to create such a vessel, bringing it back to earth would be so much more efficient.

The highest orbits are about 23,000 miles above our planet. With the moon being 238,900 miles away on average. And unfortunately we are nowhere near being able to design such a craft. Things in orbit are not just sitting at a consistent speed that we could vacuum up by moving slightly faster.

The moon is really, really far away. By comparison these are within arms reach.

We shot a satellite with an F-16 once. Turns out that's easier than getting rid of space junk....

Actually probably made that whole situation worse tbh

If a problem can be fixed with a big ass laser, I assert that it is our duty, as humans, to do so. With vigor.

I can think of nothing more human.
