      From: adam.w.krajewski@gmail.com              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?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
