So you're telling me that 21 countries are all banding together to test their combined planetary defense systems on a single comet, watching it fly by, instead of using something like a meteor shower full of objects actually hitting the earth's atmosphere.
Does this seem odd to anyone else?

Spacecraft Maven, being in the ideal spot to view 3I/Atlas, just happening to lose contact just before it could relay any data back to NASA is quite the coincidence.
Anyone taking bets on which standard excuse NASA will pick to explain it?

The reason I am a bit suspicious about 3I'Atlas is the string of coincidences, followed by typical 'nothing to see here" and 'training exercises' responses about an object that is entirely new to us.
Did NASA hope they could technobabble us out of interest?
There's too much attention for a nothing.

Aren't training drills usually done in controlled environments, where equipment and people can be tested within given parameters?
It just seems quite a coincidence that so many militaries and agencies are opting to do training exercises all at the same time, not just tracking 3I/Atlas.

Another tin foil hat theory - just for fun
What if all this unrealistic talk from Musk about sending humans to live on Mars is just a story to gain funding and permits, public approval, so he can turn around and build a much more realistic robotic mining colony there instead.

If we allow the USPS to be handed over to the rich, the rich will want to profit from it the same way they profit from everything else.
This may include understaffing, service cutbacks, price increases, delays, more PO box rentals, and maybe even junk fees.
It will not improve service in the end.

What if 3I/Atlas is a big chunk of rock, metal, and whatever else, and our governments are actually competing to blast the object so fragments can be gathered later, thus explaining the 'training exercises' we are about to see and questionable public releases.

Whether this image, by Dr. Sebastian Voltmer, is real, enhanced, or otherwise, is irrelevant for this:
Why hasn't NASA released images that look like this, clearly showing shape, form, and color? A basic wall poster quality snapshot of the object, as they typically show of other nifty space stuff.

Saying that 3I/Atlas is a comet because it has a coma and a tail is like saying a swan is a duck because it has feathers and webbed feet.
Lots of things look like other things.
Insisting there is nothing to see here usually means there is everything to see here.
What are we supposed to believe?

Here's a fun question:
Did 3I/Atlas come straight here at its current speed?
Or did it slow down from FTL before we could see it?
Or is it a galactic pinball, bouncing off objects in space?
Because one of these makes a living being factor way more possible.

Why 3I/Atlas is unlikely to be an alien ship;
It would have to contain an technology that never requires any sort of repair, no accidents. Otherwise it would need food, medicine, and supplies enough to support life and repairs for billions of years, and use something like solar energy for fuel.

Just because you cannot recognize how someone expresses emotion does not mean they do not feel emotions.
Stop assuming neurodivergent people are incapable of feelings.
They may have simply chosen not to share their emotions with you.

I will admit a tiny part of me wants 3I/Atlas to be something alien, as unlikely as that is, just to remind everyone that we are all human beings here.
Our differences make us beautiful.
We only hate each other because rich folks told us to, to keep us distracted while they steal our money.

So is it really a super-Flu or the regular Flu just hitting harder because of so many Covid infections?
Either way, hospitals are filling up in the UK .
It's probably here already.
Either way, I'll be masking up as usual, because it is not fun to get sick or stay in a hospital.

Fun facts
wage theft edition:
The rich took away your pension and replaced it with gambling up to 6% of your paycheck on their stock portfolios for your retirement, aka 401k.
6% of the grossly underpaid wages you get.
Low raises are theft disguised so you won't complain.

Saw an ad for scab workers to cover for striking hospital employees.
Taking this type of job/gig weakens the impact from the strike.
You help the rich screw over employees.
Find work anywhere else.
Never cross a picket line.
If folks are missing work to strike, conditions are really that bad.

So NASA has released better blurry pics of 3I/Atlas.
When NASA wants to do a thing, they do the impossible to get it done.
They landed on an asteroid, but can't get decent pics of this one thing?
With as much attention at this 'comet' is getting, something here does not add up.

These same greedy rich folks insist universal healthcare can't work, because it can't dump cash into their hoards.

Let me get this straight.
This is an image of an asteroid ( Bennu), roughly the size of the Empire State building.
Yet, NASA can only get blurry images of 3I/Atlas, roughly the size of Manhattan?
If it's just a typical comet, why doesn't NASA just prove it with images?
Make it make sense.

Yet the images we've been shown from these agencies are fuzzy and vague.

Ignoring all of the alien origin theories, 3I/Atlas is still incredibly fascinating.
Whatever it is, it's new, unseen before.
Science gold.
It would be ridiculous to think scientists are not meticulously, studying this object.
A threat is unlikely, because distance.
