In terms of saving the world, do you think if we deflected the planet killing asteroid coming at earth by hitting it with something that would stick to it, instead of blowing it up with explosives, that might work without turning it into dangerous and still planet killing pieces still coming at us? I mean, don't you think there ought to be something we can make sticky in a vacuum, right? How hard can it be?

Just wondering. Friday buzz of the herbal variety Love your drink descriptions!
