2. Good question

Unfortunately I don't have a solution, but it is something I've pondered and I think it was smart to throw the question out to everyone. Who knows what answer may be hiding in plain sight or within the scope of someone's specific knowledge and background.


The only completely uninformed thought that occurs to me is could we send it far out into space? Would there be unintended consequences? It is impossible to predict given the complexity of the cosmos? Would we disrupt the entire balance of the universe and astrophysics?

To all responds to this good question: Please don't shame or vilify me for my ignorance on this subject. I'm aware that I raise this question with a child's understanding of the laws that govern what lies beyond our little blue planet. My passion, love and inspiration is life on earth and all it's complexity, wonder, and mystery. I get why what lies beyond is worthy of investigation and marvel at those who explore it. I'm also aware that life on earth and all that lies beyond are inseparable. So please don't trash me for lack of knowledge.
