You need to do some research about Rods from the Gods.
Most devastating kinetic weapon around.
20 or 30 years ago I read about something called a "propane bomb" that was said to be the most lethal non nuclear weapon there was. Then I never heard another thing about it. If you google propane bomb you may get a visit from the NSA maybe....
Yes indeed. The rods from the gods concept via Project Thor is fascinating. Just imagine a 40 foot telephone pole dropped from orbit reaching speeds of up to 10 TIMES the speed of sound and filled with tungsten spikes and blades The explosion on impact would be on par with a nuclear explosion but without the fallout. There's no hardened bunker or underground site in the world that it can't destroy. Any human that is remotely close to the impact would be shredded to bits
Terminal velocity is anywhere from 120 to 180 MPH....that's physics. To go any faster it would have to be propelled and in the atmosphere I am not sure that could be done ( mach 10)
You're traveling at 16;500 mph when in orbit. Which is why when you enter the earth's atmosphere, you'll burn up unless you have heat resistant material. Cobalt is extremely heat resistant and it can travel in at at angle that allows it to keep its 16,500 mph speed, mostly.
The terminal velocity of an object falling through an atmosphere is the velocity at which the force of gravity is equal to the force of drag. Terminal velocity changes as a function of altitude. Given enough time, an object falling into the atmosphere will slow to terminal velocity and then remain at terminal velocity for the rest of its fall.
These rules affect less and less the further into space you go or more accurately, where you're coming from. Like @clob94 said, spacecraft are traveling in the teens of kilometres/second and are designed to burn off that speed as it enters our atmosphere. Now imagine an aerodynamic pole dropped at that speed. There's simply not enough time traveling in atmosphere to drastically slow it down before impact.

This year has been difficult to most and my family has been no exception. About 99% of what has been on my mind doesn't belong in here so I've kept my comments to myself.
We need some cfb to analyze but chances of that happening aren't looking too promising. I did hear that we have around 10 players quarantining for either testing positive or being exposed to someone that's confirmed.
2020.....you suck.
