Jose Canseco explains how Comets will save humanity



Inspired by the Philae spacecraft landing on a speeding comet, Jose Canseco, Cuban-American former Major League Baseball, decided to tweet heavy knowledge about science and what it means for human space travel.

He shared his thoughts about the landing of Philae lander on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Wednesday.

He tweeted some theories about how 'comet transport is the key to our survival', saying it would open up new industries like 'asteroid mining and interstellar trade.

Canseco explained that using comets isn't a new thing. Galactic Beings are a solid synth-rock band, and they've been using comets for a while now and they have used comets as star taxis for eons.

His tweets include that comets are faster than anything we could ever build and if Earth can control the comet transport system, humans will run the Milky Way. He imagined rich strip-mining and sightseeing economies opening up throughout the galaxy.
