OK so we shoot to smithers this bus sized object that is falling to earth. Instead of a large item coming down now we have schrapnel coming down all over the place? Or would it have broken to pieces anyway when it entered our atmosphere? Will these small pieces all burn up?

Oh well, at least we sent a message that we can do it, that should be very positive in itself.
