seeing something burning through the sky could be anything. e.g. Rods of God tech
I personally have not been murdered, but would still thusly suspect that it is an unpleasant experience.
Well, Rods of God was a program requiring orbital platforms
Do you believe it was an actual program, or possibility?
or these things
people have found these things everywhere
and we know there is a company that can produce meteor showers on demand
And what are they?
Is it not possible to be a kind of ordnance?
Akin to, say, Mk. 20 Rockeyes
no clue
just saying other crap is likely falling from the sky that aren't space rocks
so we can't limit the possibilities
Possible, satellites decay orbit all the time after all.
If we are to accept them as true.
Of note, I tend to think Rods of God, while interesting, was far less ambitious than Brilliant Pebbles
That was a very interesting program
I have no clue if the "Rods of God" concept might work if dropped from very high alt aircraft for example....
Well, the altitude would have to be excessively high
And unfortunately, few aircraft could carry that quantity of WHA high enough to have any appreciable impact
Far from it.
I'm a scientist
WHA is an incredibly dense material after all
carry one
drop it
Problem is carrying it indeed.
my favorite quote "Impossible is just an opinion"
They were designed to reach terminal velocity before impact
we have no idea the size. take a smaller one
all assumptions
Then it fails to produce adequate effects
need to see the experiment
WHA, while dense, would need to be of a sufficiently large size to produce nuclear fallout on impact.
my other favorite "one test is worth 1000 expert opinions"
For a similar concept on a smaller scale, see LOSAT
ah ok. never heard of it
While effective, it was also not nuclear.
At a certain point...
It is more useful to just use traditional nuclear ordnance
Or fire up a few TRIDENT IIs
