It's weird that the asteroid is shaped like Seattle's space needle. If we could stop it and bring it down in one piece (slowly), it would make quite a tourist attraction.
Maybe we could put it by the Marsha Warfield visitor center.
had one in storage but somebody remapped the page and now I cant find itJokerman said:Oh, there ain't no "maybe" ... this gonna happen.SMack said:

Anyone got an asteroid catcher? (Preferably one specializing in Seattle Space Needle-shaped asteroids.)
Or even a food truck..Asteroid Bar-B-Que would be awesome! One could name their specialty items after individual "space rocks"SMack said:
I wonder if there is a picture of that asteroid...
If we can't catch it, we could at least display its photo at the visitor center.
I wonder if there is one shaped like the ALICO building or the suspension bridge or something.
I wonder about such things. I don't know if Jokerman does or not.
A life-sized mural would be nice -- of Marsha Warfield -- on a life-sized mural (perhaps a lovely mosaic) of the Space Needle Asteroid, which would be installed on a much-larger-than-life-sized replica of a food truck parked next to the Alico Building, all to accommodate and properly display the actual size of the asteroid and, of course, Marsha Warfield.SMack said:

Asteroids are really interesting these days -- this one is shaped like the Eiffel Tower.Jokerman said:
A huge asteroid is about to fly past Earth. If you caught it, you'd be $4.7 billion richer
Anybody got an extra-large catcher's mitt?

When I was a youngster, all our asteroids just looked like rocks. Kids today just don't know how good they've got it.
Sadly, I think we're seeing the anti-Marsha Warfield bias that is so common in the asteroid community. Obviously the committee that determines the asteroid shapes favor the most famous (dare I say blue-blood?) tall structures.Jokerman said:Seattle Space Needle?SMack said:Asteroids are really interesting these days -- this one is shaped like the Eiffel Tower.Jokerman said:

Eiffel Tower?
Sounds like we've got a Boutique Asteroid Producing 3D Printer at work.
Why can't they do something more productive, like printing a Marsha Warfield-shaped asteroid? If you're gonna go, go hard, I always say.
Further proof of anti-Marsha bias by the committee.Jokerman said:

Dude. Go here. Marsha is 5-11. If that ain't tall, my name ain't Joe Kermann.
It's about time Marsha, and all non-tower-shaped asteroids, gets a little love.
And, if anyone can give this statuesque woman a little love, it's me.
Perhaps this wonder would stimulate the creativity of the "tall motif" designers of today's asteroid community? This seen by appoinment only, crypto required, and meta-verse residents only need apply...I've just received my "10 minute" reentry notice from Mission Control.. This one would definitely not be in the blue-blood category of tower-esque asteroids. Granted, it'd get some play on ESPN's late game on Thursday nights. But you'd have to convince me to make it any higher than a 12-seed.Bexar Pitts said:

Definitely not in mainstream of asteroidal concept..However , an "atomic" design motif, while rather esoteric in nature, would definitely have an appeal for some..I strongly believe the asteroid community needs to present an aura of inclusion to reach critical mass...At least that's what the clerk said when he/she took my admission ticket.

Copy that on Phone School..I know some Jet Propulsion analysts that flunked the introductory "Living Without Dial Tone" course that's mandatory for advancement past Freshman level content..Just glad I got past those qualifiers to earn my acceptance into "Batteries Included" courses..BTW, where DID dial tone finally go? And what actually made that noise? Do asteroids have dial tone? So many loose ends that need to be cleaned up..Jokerman said:Phone School ain't no joke, bro.Bexar Pitts said:Thanks!

The weekly lab on kitchen phone cord untangling was a freaking beast.

Sobering thought..Now that I think about it, a lot of our "modern" day problems have arisen after the disappearance of our dial tone. Scientists have spent fortunes trying to listen for "noises" and communications from outer space..Maybe they're trying to send us their dial tone? How can we hope to communicate with them if we have no "tone?" Sumpin' may be up in our highest leveis of govt..Maybe asteroids do have tone and we've secretely been talking to them.. Instead of blowing them up, why don't we just call them and at least leave a message on their answering machine? May be time for Congress to form another select committe and find out where our DT is, who took it, and who's in control of it. How DID they make that noise? "They" may be monitoring this thread now, so I'm over and out for a short spell...SMack said:Bexar Pitts said:Copy that on Phone School..I know some Jet Propulsion analysts that flunked the introductory "Living Without Dial Tone" course that's mandatory for advancement past Freshman level content..Just glad I got past those qualifiers to earn my acceptance into "Batteries Included" courses..BTW, where DID dial tone finally go?

Maybe they used the dial tone to create all those tower-shaped asteroids. Those didn't show up until the dial tone disappeared.
Coincidence?
