[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Provided you break it up into small pieces it should be no problem. I don'tMy concern is still the failure mode of some tired space miner
shooting his pile of refined metal into the Earth instead of beside
it. It's much too easy to flip a sign or transpose a digit (or use the
wrong system of measurement) and throw several tons of metal at
innocent people.
think we could, or should, try to move the whole 100m asteroid as a lump...
the failure modes would be a huge issue.
But it's perfectly possible to turn it into lumps the size of your finger and stuff it in a plastic bag.
I really doubt that would survive reentry- the surface area is too high- it would burn up.
You might get a sonic boom on the ground, but that's all. Even then, you'd want to
control the total mass of each package of course.
