Looks like the crew of the Rocinante has another mission on their hands.

Directing asteroid by launching everything mormon at it? Let's make this scifi a reality.

Lol, no, I was referring to a plot point from The Expanse where some of the main characters stole a massive spaceship they built from the Mormons to ram into a massive asteroid in order to move it out of a collision course.
