- keyle 3y agoI was just thinking the same! Shooting rocks in space! If only someone made a game about this, 44 years ago :)

- spenczar5 3y agoI was at the Planetary Defense Conference when Dr Burkey presented this work. The previous talk had been on a detailed hydrodynamics simulation which measured characteristics of rubble-pile asteroids, run on a supercomputer. She started with something like “That was cute, wasn’t it? I am going to talk about our simulation of every photon during a nuclear detonation.” It was awesome.
