The story

Kate Dibiasky, a doctoral candidate in astronomy at Michigan State University, discovers a previously unknown comet.

At Oglethorpe's encouragement, Dibiasky and Mindy leak the news on a popular morning show.

The White House agrees to commercially exploit the comet by fragmenting and recovering it from the ocean, using technology proposed by BASH in a scheme that has not undergone peer review.
