As for your exhortation to "re-read the article", please do not talk down to me. I>

Ok, I won't.

Now, please do not make blanket assumptions about me.

... if it hit at a shallow angle much of it could have burned away in the atmosphere...

Do the geometry:

The  'atmosphere' surrounding a ~4000 radius Earth is REAL thin!

About the 'shallowest' angle you can get is and Earth grazer - a path around 200 miles long maximum thru the stratosphere and troposphere.

You'd get a 200 mile long, 3 mile wide path of STUFF.

 

No then; just how much 'damage' does that appear able of creating?

I did not. I formed a hypothesis and checked it by asking you. Otherwise I would have dismissed you without learning anything.

Of course, there’s no need to go into the Great Deception of the NASA program.

Everyone knows that’s really a super secret operation to have SUVs placed all over the other planets in the solar system along with monstrous bags of gasoline and huge piles of oxygen tanks.

The plan, dastardly eeveel plan to pollute every planet that nasty humans can reach, take AWG to the whole solar system and artificially deplete our planetary supply of gasoline and oxygen.

It wasn’t me... although come to think of it, I may have done that once upon a time... but I think I only considered it until I found someone else had. So really, I’ve got nothin’...
