So, high-powered satellite with hyper-precise hyper-
powered
long-range laser etching capability... nah, scratch that, the
comet is probably rotating in some random fashion that'll
make
the writing a scrawl.
Maybe there's a way to figure out its rotational axis and
speed
so that the laser
can do some dot matrix style letters.
Yeah okay so the Comet's surface will burn it off as it gets
closer to the sun. Maybe we can zap it as it's getting
further
away...?
Too bad we missed Neowise. An Oort cloud wanderer
would've
been the perfect candidate.
I suppose we could just spell it out on Mars with a rover.
But
where's the challenge in that?
Maybe we could just build a comet? Glue together some
space
junk onto an engine that we lift?

"Kilroy was here" is a bit... common.
Needs to be something at least a little mysterious, like
(perhaps) half a croissant? |

Partially baked on the animated series "The Tick". The
villian Chairface, started writing his name on the moon using
a laser before he was interrupted by the hero. The moon
said "CHA" for awhile until The Tick arranged for the "C" to
be erased. As far as I know, it's been "HA" ever since. [link] |

Common for a particular planet in the unfashionable
portion of the galaxy, perhaps. But not for comets on
their way to the Oort cloud. |

Good call, a1. I was thinking of that myself. Also, with an orbital period measuring in the millions of years, there has to be a good science fiction story in there somewhere, surely? |
