Oh that's what they all say, "Just a few weeks, two months tops." Then little by little the space in your medicine cabinet gets smaller, your mailbox is overflowing with magazines you don't subscribe to, and then suddenly when your hanging up their Christmas stocking BAM it hits you, it's been fifteen years and they aint never gonna leave. The only way you're getting out of this mess is in a pine box.

Is it really a moon if it isn't orbiting the earth? It's just Slingshotting around the earth not even for a full orbit.

It isn’t a moon, but people who write these articles like calling it one.

The amount of people that know 10% about "this" right now and are ALL GETTING IT COMPLETELY WRONG! Is staggering. In my little ecosystem, it was 3 people who all had 3 different versions of events, but all three seemed to expect to "see" it outside, with the naked eye.

Yeah it’s because of science news stories like this that are picked up and circulated in the common media outlets that people can become confused and disinterested in the subject when reality doesn’t meet the spectacle it’s made out to be.
Ionico
Bingo.

Don't you dare tell me they figured out how to force us to live forever. I don't think I could handle that.

I know what I would do. Jettsion myself out of a spaceship. Sooner or later some sentient alien specie would discover me and I can finally get laid.
