Then shouldn't they be "spaceships" and "asteroids" in the plural? It
looks wrong to iterate over a singular asteroid. (And I'd prefer to
iterate over a collection of spaceships in the plural even if I know
it's a list of one, though I can understand that a list of one is a
tricky case for some people.)
