Wonder if it will kill all the aliens
Well I hope not, some of them could be ancient...
Is Tommy Lee Jones on board?
Well! He did save the planet in Space Cowboys!
It may kill some select-fire. Everyone knows that the aliens live on the dark side of the moon. PF told us that.
Based on some rough math..4 ton projectile running 3500 FPS going to have 1.523,489,724 Ft pounds of energy.
1.6 MPS = 8448 feet per second. Try that figure in your calculations.
Like I said, its gonna leave a mark!. Bob
8,875,876,504 I was shooting a lite load first time around
I get KE of 171,072,000,000 ft-lbs/sec^2
That's a boatload of KE -- I wonder if any satellites will be able to directly observe the impact. Gonna be a heck of a flash!
Be interesting if Hubble could observe the impact or at least the crater. Lots to be learned. I wonder if any seismographs are active on the moon that could yield lots of interesting data.
Hubble cannot see the far side of the moon. Maybe the Webb when it becomes operational.
