There is no evidence for this recoil.

And that means that the object is very massive.

And I derived a value of 33 billion tons.

A huge thing, which if you take solid density, it means it's more than five kilometers in diameter.

So when you mention a few hundred meters, that's nothing.

And this object, by the way, was discovered just over the past decade of observing the sky.

So who knows how much debris collected or...

on the surface of Mars or the moon because they are good museums.

And by the way, I see that as their most important value.

Let me just say one thing about my fundamental point of view.

Each of us would live for about 100 years if we are lucky, right?

That's the kind of... It's pretty depressing, right?

Because there is so much we would like to know and we have only 100 years, so...

It makes no sense, all of this.
