What is "so-called" about a hyperbolic trajectory?

Why don’t they just set the controls for the heart of the sun ?

First it was Oumuamua and its sister probe, now its the vessel which will decide out fate ... does it pass through the system or does its trajectory get ‘perturbed’ and aim for the sun? If it goes for the sun, there is a better than even chance it is a superdense object which will cause the sun to nova. Thus explaining why we haven’t heard from any other life forms - they know the price of revealing their location as we have. Fermi just didn’t think the problem through ...

“it is short for web log “

I know that. You inspire me to say “web log” whenever referring to those “blogs”.

I don’t like “twitter” or “tweet” either.

Human conversation needs to be referred to more respectfully.

Would there be any point in planting a comm package on it? I have often thought we should do that with these “travelers” but I don’t know if there would be any benefit...

Got that image from Daily Mail. Next time I’ll look for any copyright. That image is all over the world (Russia for example).

On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry at you.

With Oumaumau earlier and now this I think it is obvious these are scout probes for a larger alien invasion force.

My recommendation is we send the SQUAD up to negotiate, that way 2 things will happen:

1. We will be rid of the socialist morons

2. The aliens will determine there is no intelligent life here and turn around.
