Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth on December 19 at 167 million miles, disappointing hopes it might be an alien spacecraft as it simply cruised past without incident. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb now proposes using such fast-moving objects as interstellar transportation, suggesting spacecraft could "hitchhike" on them to reach interstellar space thousands of years faster than current missions like Voyager.
