True up until the plasma sheath has burned away the radar absorbant coating and then generates a magnitude or more EMF than the object does at ambient space temperature.

- datameta 5y agoCertainly you can. At that point it is on final trajectory and we simply have to put a missile under the object heading straight up. It depends on the type of rock we're talking about. If it's sufficiently large to be highly destructive upon splintering then we are in the realm of science fiction.
