Thank you for making my day so much nicer with that information :-D Earlier in December, The Planetary Society had asked the public where did we want space exploration to take us next? We were asked to reply using the hash tag #SpaceFan and wrote the following short twitter poem. “I wanna hitch a ride with a hypervelocity star if any come our way, to some other galaxy if heading that in that direction someday #SpaceFan ” So, I don’t know about you, but I’m making plans for the future, at least for future generations. Likewise, I’m sure we could hitch a ride on comets to the outer solar system far sooner than the latter. Perhaps if we could use landing mechanisms for comets that would keep spacecraft stuck to the comet surface, as in a smallish reverse thrust rocket engine system, to enable the craft to anchor itself until it could drill itself a strong hold?
