[meteorite-list] Global warming? Blame Tunguska

[LITIG8NSHARK at aol.com]

Ahh, Mark,
 
The stuff dreams are made of.  With a simple deflection the advanced 
scientist might be able to "nuke" his mother-in-law.  Nice idea but, it seems to me 
that we have a tough enough time calculating man made space debris re-entry 
points/times....much less some object travelling at an incoming speed of say, 
20,000 or 30,000 miles per hour.  I dare say I'd prefer not to risk it...unless 
you are maybe talking about a little rock the size of a 19 inch TV.  Then feel 
free to drop it in my back yard. 
 
G'day to all of you,

....this 'NEO deflection technology' that is
being developed, could it not potentially also be (technically at least)
used to steer an impact to occur onto a 'foreign power's country'?
perhaps even with smaller rocks - A sort of 'natural nuke'?...
