No kidding?! You have actually seen tungsten rods which had been dropped from space? Travelling at several miles per second? You must have very good vision! (As well as a very high Security Clearance.)
Regards,
Actually the ones I “saw” were in lab photos, not so you could touch them. They were meant to be an inexpensive device compared to something very technical. But as I mentioned, they were effective at what they hit, but not very easy to predict where they would actually come down. I do not know if they were improved, or what happened to the design. (Outside of my clearance).
And regards to you too.
