The visuals of a kinetic bombardment

[QUOTE="newjerseyrunner, post: 5494407, member: 553315"] The end result would look like this [ATTACH=full]188405[/ATTACH] Visually, I imagine it tearing through the atmosphere like a meteor. It'd be very bright and you'd be able to see it easily even is daytime. You'd want to bring it in at the maximum angle that you can before destroying the rod. The less air you go through, the less kinetic energy is lost, however, trying to plunge it straight through the atmosphere may destroy it before it hits the ground. When it impacts, a huge amount of light and heat would be generated and the crater would be dug out. Because of the shape and strength of the material, it'll dig much deeper than a normal meteor, so it'd cause tremors much deeper in the bedroom. It'd probably cause pretty severe earthquakes for a good radius and everything that comes with them: landslides... The shockwave would look just like a nuclear bomb. [/QUOTE]
