Printed a scientifically accurate* model of the interstellar object Oumuamua. This differs somewhat from the usual offered artist’s rendering.

Haha. Love it!
Heh. “No no, it’s accelerating out of our solar system because it’s a comet with an invisible tail, not because it saw the state of our politics!”
Seriously though, it’s been a really good few years for astronomy recently.
@Ryan_Carlyle The discovery that planet formation is common, with hints that livable planets may also be common, make the Drake Equation look a lot less forbidding. That is a huge change from when I first started reading science fiction as a kid.
At this point, for all we know the most common interstellar object could be disused Von Neumann probes. We have exactly zero empirical basis for any conclusion. The artist’s rendition is a complete fiction, but I bet most folk think it is true. Bit annoying.
…And now I need to print a Heaven One vessel.
@Kyle_Taylor Hey, watch it! This is a serious topic!
Make a fort then drop the bomb on it
