no ore?

@Absolarix, a 'traveling satellite' does not exist, you are referring to a probe. Also already are several thousand telescopes that weigh hundreds and even thousands of tons on Earth, they are radio-telescopes and observatories. Other than those minor problems, your story is great.

Does it have an oxygen atmosphere?

It was some time ago that a long lost telescope on a travelling satelite spotted a moon made entirely of ice, or at least nearly so. Such a celestial body was highly desired at the Earth's own water supplies become more and more poluted from years of dumping waste into the oceans.Gravely, it had been lost when the satellite lost contact for unknown reasons.

1: "Ah, there! We found it!"

2: "Huh, what?"

1: "Look through here, a ball of white!"

Two astronomers scan the skies of the moon's suspected location using a state of the art telescope weighing many tons. They hastily switch positions in their excitment, one of them unknowingly bumping the keyboard.

2: "Dude, you're right! Wait... What?"

A message on the telescope's screen reads:
"You are entering the developer debug screen. Some of the features may crash the game or cause other errors. Continue?"

2: "Err, yeah, whatever..."
The second astronomer dismisses the message with a confirmation, for which he is immediately greated with a dark screen. The rotors controlling the telescope let out a metallic groan, the faces of everyone in the room going pale as they look at one another at the ghostly sounds. A word could not be uttered before the intense hissing of a strained piston was heard, and not a moment later, the impact of a heavy object against an armoured wall rung through the building like an earthquake.

Seconds after the shaking had stopped, and everyone had picked themselves up off the floor, a great crash could be heard, it had to have been several kilometers away.
Upon inspection of the telescope, the massive assembly was nowhere to be seen. Only a gaping hole consisting of mangled catwalks was found, and through that hole, a massive cloud of dust could be seen several kilometers away.

The Lord at claimed another victim, and this time, possibly an entire race with it.

its pretty nice

Purple textures everywhere. Please fix.

Thanks!
