19.3 x 436000 = 8414800 grams
convert that to pounds and you get 18551.45844 pounds
it costs 10,000 dollars to put 1 pound in space
there was some rounding
so it's probably higher than 185.5 million dollars
HM..
How about firing them into the atmosphere to then drift down?
Wait.
I just made an error

YEET
tungsten is 19.3 grams per cubic CENTIMETER
not cubic inch
So what does this change?
so it's actually like 463,786,400 dollars
for 1 pound?
after I did the cubic inch to cubic centimeter conversion
no
Right, we're doing this ICBM style.
this is for a telephone pole sized object, which was the original plan for kinetic bombardment
almost 500 million fucking dollars for one rod
Literally gonna use metal rods like ICBMs
that'd be really tough because the missile would have to carry 23 fucking tons of tungsten
Eh
the tsar bomba (largest nuke ever built) weighed 5 tons
the ICBM would collapse on the pad
Hm...
We'll see.
Gotta look into this a bit more..
the tsar bomba had to be delivered by plane, too, because it was TOO HEAVY TO BE PUT ON A MISSILE
Then again we're in the future and NASA has been researching how to lower the cost of putting stuff into orbit so by this time they could of done that.
this plan is a disaster waiting to happen and a huge waste of money
HM..
Fuck. Tried thinking of a pun to take the mick out of Communism but can't think of any way to phrase it...
Shit.
you'd have to make a pretty big rocket to drop the Tsar Bomba
you could give everyone in the ghetto a steady job, drug rehabilitation, and a far better house AND get rid of the ghetto for the 500 million dollars you wasted dropping a rod on it
and it wouldn't be very low profile like most ICBMs are supposed to be
Or.
Kill everyone in the ghettos,
so you're proposing social cleansing
