@uep true! it's like the "blow up the asteroid" problem: Instead of a big hit of kinetic energy when it hits the ground, you get millions of pebbles carrying the same energy burning up in the upper atmosphere. So instead of getting flattened you get cooked alive

@lispi314 @uep Right, if you blow it up far away you'll divert much of them, but the sci-fi trope of "it gets blown up at the last minute" doesn't work, that's what I meant.

@foone @uep Isn't the idea that they won't all combust/land but only a fraction of them?
