Fucking Japs and their origami beat us to it. Fun fact: the same satellite it launched with also had some anime and other weebshit on it

I don't think it's weeb shit if it's actually Japanese...
I say use solar sails to ship stuff to Mars for building a colony and then plant the sails at one of the Lagrange points to continuously heat Mars.

Weebshit, moeshit, otakushit, it's all the same shit.

Has people came up with an idea of how to stop it/decelerate?

Can't wait for space pirates to roam the void between suns.
