Thanks for being specific. Combine the entire periodic table into some sort of weird... Super compound bomb thing... To kill the sphere with!

o.O

Launch a large orb made of Lead, powered by Anti-Grav waves generated by Elerium-115

Sadly, if I remember correctly, we have no idea of how to produce Elerium-115.

In the game. I believe at some point, some scientist guy actually made it, and said it had very strange properties. The only reason 115Elerium has yet to be made is because we humans are stupid enough to believe having no neutrons is impossible.

Fire a WOLFTOPI  Torpedo at the elevator behind Jethro's Mind Probe and have any survivors sever the bridge in their last moments as space-explorers.

Design Cephalopedos:
Propultion: Lauynched under pressure, steam jets in transit.
Squid-shaped projectile that flies towards a target, fires a high-velocity barb into the target, and sprays paralytic agents and infectious spores through it.

Also design Space Scutters: Armoured Scutters with modifications to remain active in a vacuum.

Yes, sever the elevator before the sphere is led back to us.

Break away from the track and lead the smaller orb back to its parent.

We're getting beaten by a toddler... How low will Jethro have to sink before he becomes the universe?

All problems have a solution. Even if that solution is to cheat (IE, have plot intervene). This one, however, only needs to have some logical thought and long-distance experimentation. Besides, we can always send off a colony ship that runs like a solar sail that also has some sort of cloak-like effect like chameleon skin, radio silence, no reflectivity, complete control over external temp, etc...

Blast the sphere with random radio transmissions.

You blast the sphere with random radio transmissions, but nothing really happens. Launching WOLFTOPI at the sphere does nothing either, they simply get crushed to death when they enter the sphere.

Since Jethro's mind probe moves on a track, you decide that leading the sphere to its parent is not the brightest idea. You sever the track behind you, and try to escape.

The sphere begins bud some more spheres, but you lose it in the swirling clouds of JOSHUA. After fleeing for a while, it becomes obvious that it isn't going after you.

Now what?

Create Charlie, then improve all of the monstrosities we use for our spaceships to withstand extreme pressures, and vacuums.

It's a sphere. You have very little idea of how it is powered, or how it moves. It absorbs most forms of radiation, except for some of the ones with larger wavelengths, like radio. Except for the fact that it appears to crush things on contact, not much else to say.
