Well, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist,
does it?

at that velocity, mass, and managed an impact of equal potential, would
by far be able to construct a more effecient bomb. To consider the
potential of avoiding collisions, and the usability of such a device in
an act of war becomes impossible by design. The Earth's atmosphere is

the bomb couldn't
detonate or burn up in the atmosphere. In the otherhand, utilized for
the purpose of intent, to steer an meteorite, or asteroid away from the
Earth, would allow us to build bombs that were of a much higher yeild,
and only usable for that purpose.

The pressures achieved on impact, are much higher than any pyrotechnic
could achieve. The velocity is a result of expending a very large
quanitity of pyrotechnics to achieve that velocity over time. Time and
experimentation my prove that the quality of the fissle materials
required are not even of weapons grade in comparison to those now
utilized with pyrotechnics here on the planet for no other purpose
except war. Because, the function of velocity, and pressure of impact
are so much higher, than the blasts used to detonate a nuclear bomb.

Yes, but when you consider that the harbingers of leptitude often
reminisce, it becomes ever more increasingly difficult to find sources
of missile faterialism. That is, with the diamond vats all cold, how
could you expect to date anything _but_ carbon?

Well, I got it from a book of Ogden Nash poems, but I've been wrong before.

Ogden Nash, debunker.



I think that was A. A. Milne, rather than Ogden Nash.

I was suffering from distorted childhood memories (the memories were
distorted, not the childhood). The A. A. Milne poem I remembered was quite
another.

I did a quick poke around (AKA research), and it seems that, though it has
been attributed to Ogden Nash, the real author was one Hugh (or Hughes)
Mearns (1875-1965)

It's the sort of thing that Nash *could* have written, though.
