It would hit with the energy of a large nuke

The kinetic energy yield is listed at 150 Megatons. that's 3 times larger than any nuke we have ever touched off.

Admittedly this will ruin someone's day (most likely a patch of ocean), but it's not worth freaking out about.

Yeah, I goofed - used a 100m rock as a measure, not 130m. And didn’t look at the energy yield given.

OK, so a REALLY BIG nuke. Or a few.

But I stand by my statement that WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! (because, in the end, we all do...)
