and yeah, so instead of ONE 4 mile wide piece of space rock, how about 1,000 pieces each averaging about 1,000 feet across to pummel the Earth.

Yeah, they are. They are smart enough to know that the change in velocity for a chunk of ice 1000 feet across when hit by a flyspeck of 800 pounds is NOT enough to divert it noticably.

Sheesh, you sound like one of those hysterical Greenpeacers who protested Cassini because it had an RTG on it. Do the math... this thing is harmless to us.
