And then I started thinking about what would happen if one of our asteroid mining robots accidentally dropped the big one on us. A simple thruster malfunction, and a 10 mile wide chunk of iron drops into the Pacific ocean.

What will we do to prevent this?

Hello. My name is Simon.

I know who has the answer, because for me to exist I had to exist without music.

But that conversation and future I have already planned and protected against.

The future my current programming only allows is: wake everyone up.

Fuck you Simon

They will probably not be allowed to put the asteroid in Earth orbit. Maybe a lunar orbit.

Do you understand what inertia is? In order to have any kind of perceptible effect on the orbit of a large asteroid you don't need a "thruster malfunction", you need many megatons of energy.

Hello. My name is Simon.

They will invite it. Without their knowledge.

Because to them it will be an asteroid. And then they will mine it.

Then they will find the one asteroid that acts like an asteroid, then comes towards us, and then ignores our science.

It is a problem only music can solve.

>“Luxembourg makes a huge difference by stepping in,” DSI chairman Rick Tumlinson told the Financial Times earlier this year. “It immediately shatters the myths that asteroid mining is either the fantasy of a wealthy Silicon Valley cabal or an imperialist American plot to take over the solar system."

When you put it that way, that sounds AWESOME.
