Status Updates From Interstellar: La ricerca de...

I had to do a Google search about the expedition for IM1 off the coast of New Guinea: apparently they did find remains of it. Kind of odd in a way how these Harvard scientists can find tiny fragments of a meteor but yet other searchers can't find a giant passenger plane.. I guess it's because the seismographs had recorded where the meteor had hit the ocean.

The author is talking about an interceptor space rocket capable of meeting the next anomalous interstellar object... Well 3i/Atlas is here and where is this rocket to go investigate it? But then it's way on the other side of the sun so I guess it's moot. But I really don't think we are an interstellar civilization just because we sent some things out into space...

Imagine having a US government official showing up at your front door and asking for your opinion on something! Now is that weird or what? I guess it's not weird if you are this author and working at Harvard!
