    I'm still trying to wrap my head around how someone went from "private company wants to go into space" to "military moon rock dropping".

      My gut instinct is it's trolling for attention, which, well ya certainly got it

      @gameragodzilla Why would someone want to drop moon rocks anyway? The moon's too far away and has gravity. Better to use metal poles from low orbit.

          @gameragodzilla It's basically the same as shooting a railgun just gravity operated. And the aerodynamic profile of a rod means less loss of mass due to entering the atmosphere and all that. Less required mass for the same impact.
