Wonder what they'll think if the impactor just goes right through the comet?

I was just thinking the same thought. I was also thinking that space-base impactors should be a military weapon. Space is the ultimate high ground and I would love to see jihadists blown up from tungsten rods shot down from the heavens.

"Because of the relative speed of the two objects at the moment of impact — 23,000 mph — no explosives are needed for the job. The smashup will be equivalent to 4 1/2 tons of TNT"

It would do the same to jihadists if they are moving as fast as the comet.
