I believe the article Rods from God should be merged into the larger and more general article Kinetic bombardment. Francisco Valverde 21:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. Also added science-fiction sections. Scoo 09:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Rods From God seems to be identical to the flying telephone poles version of Thor. Jaxal1 15:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

The amount of energy released by these kinds of weapons can be calculated by the formula F= 0.5 m * v^2

HIMEOBS? The only reference I can find to this in wikipedia (other than being "an organisation") is under Trolling organisations... 82.1.178.118 15:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Just as a comment in passing, but it was mentioned that a citation is needed for kinetic energy weapons tests being carried out in the Pacific.

US ballistic missile tests traditionally target the Kwajelein atoll in the Marshall Islands (for confirmation, see photographs of MX Peacekeeper test on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercontinental_ballistic_missile). Since such tests do not use live nuclear weapons, they are, by default, instrumented tests of kinetic weapons; it's therefore a little redundant asking for citations about a secret KE weapon test, since we know information is gathered about them reasonably regularly at Kwajelein as part of teh ballistic missile testing programme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.33.132 (talk) 19:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
