How does that work? You launch your telephone pole of iron and concrete from a moon based rail gun, and time it so that it hits your target on earth? Wouldn't it just go in orbit around earth if you couldn't negate all of the velocity it has from the moon's orbital velocity? What about its terminal velocity in the atmosphere?
