That's effin awesome. I love homemade space projects like this, most especially when there's a child at the helm.

I just can't wait to do awesome science stuff like this with my boys.

I've seen the Pat Metheny Group. They're effin' awesome.

Effin' awesome. That bolide's packing serious heat. At 500km in radius and a density of say 3000kg/m3 it would have a mass of density*volume=3000*(4/3)*pi*(5*10^5)^3~1.5*10^21 kg. At minimum it'll be traveling at earths escape velocity which is ~10km/s. So it'll hit with a kinetic energy of 0.5*mass*velocity^2 = about 10^29 Joules.

For reference, the nuke that hit hiroshima had a yield of 6*10^13 Joules. THIS EVENT IS ENERGETICALLY EQUIVALENT TO MORE THAN ~ 1,000,000,000,000,000 HIROSHIMA's GOING OFF AT ONCE!

Holy crap. That's effin' awesome. Great work.
