Our sun will never go Nova, it doesn’t have enough mass.

Don’t worry, fellow Earthlings!

I have been working on a secret project to protect us from pieces of space crashing into us!

It kind of looks like an umbrella for your picnic table, only it’s made of a new, super strong material called cloth.

They must! They must!

It is children just like yours and mine, probably more likely yours, who will pool their knowledge and invent a way to save us!

My Son will be out there looking for the big joystick to shoot at the attacking galaxy so he can get more points and be King of the galaxy shooters or something.

Will they collide or just go into orbit around a common center of mass?

How will this affect AOC’s Green New Deal? I’m assuming space launches will be forbidden as they are pretty carbon emission heavy.
