Planets are made out of comets and comets are made out of stars

Yeah I mean it's kind of a trivial statement that one person can't physically build a space mission, like one person can't build a cathedral.
But yeah more interesting is the fact that one person cannot conceive a space mission or hold it in their head.

How much is even in the budget for development of space lassos and comet harnesses? Probably mere millions when it should be billions. Obama has fucked us all again.

Unrelated, but I had always thought there was something just a little ~ off ~ about Los Angeles' bland skyline and just recently learned that all the skyscrapers were mandated to be flat on top to make room for the helipads. That's why there are no Chrysler or TransAmerican Buildings in L.A. Never knew that.

Never noticed that huge comet in the background either. Maybe I saw it on that Bob Seger cover, I'll have to go look.

The LA skyscraper thing started in the mid 70s and was just repealed this year, I think.
