Please, call our little nation The Netherlands. Also we have a province called Sealand too.

1. What is your favorite species of hominid?
2. Do you prefer hardcover or paperback?
3. I find it kind of weird that one of your books seems to be named after your brother's wife. Why did you name your book "An abundance of Katherines"?

Edit: I don't think this AMA is in any way serious. Also, I think everyone's getting downvoted by other colors and I don't even understand this game.

I wondered why she screamed EH.

Doing so would probably just be an excuse for Congress to cut more funding.

Thanks for doing this AMA! Do you guys believe that the asteroid redirect mission would offer more bang for our buck than going out to an actual asteroid in deep space? Could you maybe give us some details on NASA's plan for a deep space asteroid too?

Also, I'm going to University soon; what did you guys graduate in?

Edit: well, for those interested, I looked up some info on the current plans for a Deep Space Asteroid mission.

The current Initial Capability asteroid mission would involve the first launch of a Block 1A SLS with a DSH and a CPS. The CPS would push the DSH into a high elliptical orbit. Then, an Orion crew vehicle and a CPS would be launched on a second SLS. The Orion MPCV would dock with the DSH in orbit and the CPS on Orion would fire again, and then Orion itself does a burn. Once at the asteroid, Orion would burn to rendezvous with the asteroid. Once the mission is complete Orion will burn again and send the 45 ton stack back to Earth where Orion will reenter.

The other missions are even more complicated so I don't feel like typing them all out.
