Comments on: Enceladus update http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/11/22/enceladus-update/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

That cold moon just gave me another idea for geoengineering. Since instruments have been landed on relatively small space rocks, perhaps boosters can be landed, attached, and used to slam those rocks into the earth. Global warming fixed! Well, assuming we can get the rocks to hit at high enough speeds. Mmmm … enchiladas.

It looks like it could be a picture of an unplowed parking lot with about 5 inches of snow after a few cars have gone through it...but I'm sure the smallest object on this picture is probably hundreds of feet across.
