Still, .21 lunar distances at that speed is troubling.

Only 8 meters in diameter? Might cause someone trouble if it hit, but would not be memorable.

Thanks TaraP! That one is a tiny little thing, 8 meters across, size of a house...

So if I read this correctly RF 12 is 8 meters (9 yards) in diameter. Does anyone know the size of RX 30?
