11th magnitude, yay!...not. 
Carefully plotted? If there's anything carelessly in this universe, that must be asteroid trajectories.

"I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes. The fall of Rome, the fall of Germany — the
fall of the ruling country, the people who think they can do whatever they want without anybody else's consent. I've seen this story
before."~Maynard James Keenan
