Could we build a base, on a comet?

Base?

>> No.4131322

Up until it evaporates, yes.

Most comets aren't predicted to last more than several hundred years, before the sun has reduced them to rubble (by evaporation).

How do I, hold all these, commas?

>> No.4131328

Its flying and it never really lands, so it has no need for a base and it would be much harder to design a propulsion mechanism to get it to land on its base anyway.

Have you never seen the word "you" used to indicate an arbitrary third party as one would use the word "one?" It is perhaps not strictly correct usage, but it's more widely used and accepted even than the use of "they" and related words to indicate a gender-neutral singular third person.

The irony is that, in pointing out what you claim to be a cover-up of a mistake, you are covering up what I claim to be a mistake, namely your assertion that I was addressing the OP.
