   Hi, Mr Campbell!   
   How is this is possible? The meteors, burning satellites, go well beyond 100   
   their lenght when in atmosphere I think. But if that's true, are there any   
   heat shield ways to overcome this? Also, wouldn't such thing make kinetic   
   bombardment idiotic?   
   On penetration, why is that? The kinetic energy of 2 km/s rod is smaller than   
   of 50 km/s rod, so why would it be this way?   
   Thanks for the link on diffraction, I will read that.   
   Mr Fergerson, what do you think about turret mounts, kinetic missiles and   
   exhaust shielding, do you think it would be viable option?
