What if...

[samvara]

You had access to a giant, derelict alien spaceship and had to crash it somewhere on the Earth - where would you land?

ETA: Assume a shitty landing rather than a disaster and then assume whoever it landed near just 'won' the technology race - who gets the resource?

Why bother landing?

Park it in orbit and keep it for yourself and your friends...

My other thought, was crash it onto Mars, and re-ignite the space race & technological development required just to get there.

But I fear too many governments would go for sabotaging other efforts in a "if we can't have it, noone can" kinda way.

prk.

ooh, I like that almost as much as the 'give it to a small 'independent' nation.

and to answer samvara - I don't think I trust anyone with that sort of toy, not even me.
