Something to share, even if we have talked about the concept before, it's
reminder that high tech occasionally apes low tech...

Hi All

Glenn wrote about aero/space support.  Actually this could that the form
of rocks. Project Thor was an idea where by 3m x.4m tunstan rods could be
dropped from orbit using guidence fins and a seaker guidence. The kinetic
energy was tremedous!!!

So Ortillery would not need to be NBC, you could just drop rocks, remember
meteor crater? For that matter a large group of small objects, if they started
out big enough to last through reentry would do the job.

Dave, yes we do have a lot of snow in Buffalo!!!
