helmsman,
Good lord. A four and three-quarters inch rock travelling at 60,401 mph?
That'd make a bang allright, as energy is related to the square of velocity,
and that is a BIG velocity.
Now, how can we detect a less-than-5-inch rock headed for the moon at
60K-plus mph from 240,000 miles away, and fail to find any supposed WMD in
Iraq?
As JJ says, "inquiring minds want to know".
