      You need to spend billions to get the "telephone pole" into orbit, develop the targeting system for that "pole", develop deploy, and maintain the surveillance system so that you can find the carrier to target. Also, unlike a bunker, a carrier moves at over 30 knots. The "pole" will now needs an active guidance system to constantly change course and to hit the carrier. Lastly, to be useful, the Thor launcher and it's targeting systems need to be in low / mid orbit, and are vulnerable to anti-satellite weapons, including missiles such as SM-3.

      You would only see benefits if you could harvest and refine materials from space, as such you would need a full scale moon or satellite based refinery, a fleet of asteroid mining equipment and people or A.I. running the project. No country can militarize or colonize the moon so it would have to be a private company in that situation or a violation of international law, and you would need to be able to defend it all.

And in Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", a rebellious Lunar colony repurposed their mining mass driver designed to lob dumb payloads of rock and metal and ice into space...into a sort of rail gun, with their target being basically the entire Earth. You don't even need precision bombing (though some targets WILL fortuitously be in just the right...or just the *wrong*...place and time that you COULD hit some of them with precision, but if you could lob ENOUGH mass, precision isn't needed, you just need to get *near* your target. Hell, much of the Earth is covered with water, and most of the human race lives near coasts (and rivers and lakes)...so you just need to cause a bunch of tsunamis. You could *continuously* generate tsunamis for days and weeks and months and even *years* on end...just using strike after strike after strike.

    Guys hear me out. I have an hypothesis that Kyle suffers from multiple personality disorder combined with schizophrenia. Here are the symptoms:
    - Hallucinations. The void might not be real and is a constant hallucination were he see impossible things. We even have seen several Kyles in the void.
    - Small seizures. Everytime Kyle gets hurt in the void he recovers in the next scene this could be those small attacks that his brain interpret as physical attacks
    - Trauma. We have seen Kyle expressing extreme remorse and sadness when talking about losing a girlfriend (captain america episode) or losing a love one (in spiderman episodes). He even starts crying.
    - Change of mannerisms. As he has said, he is very different when he acts IRL that when he is in the void, he not only become left and right handed between footnotes and episodes he even becomes a way better artist in the void than he is IRL because he was unable to draw as good and he confirm us once that he "draws" all the drawing himself and without help.
    - Memory lose. Kyle has never been able to tell us how he gets out or in of the void, it might be the jump between personalities
    - Time lapses. We just saw him talking to himself in a different timeframe meaning that personalities may be independent, also in the episodes of timetravel he is able to talk to himself from the future and past but he is sure timetravel isn't possible.
    - Compulsive. Maybe the telephone is the way he is able to connect both personalities to become functional (is this a jojo reference?)
    - Dominant personality. We see super villain Kyle ordering around science Kyle to make world ending projects and defeat superheroes.
    We may have in our hands a Kyle with 2 personalities were one was created as a cooping mechanic for a past trauma were another more demanding personality orders around to get work done. There may be more symptoms but there has been already 12 minutes and I have to get out of my building.

Next project you need to check out is the space laser that can melt rock into lava. A Marine brother of mine mentioned an incident in Afghanistan. The choppers couldn't land in the valley we were in do to high wind. His unit was told to fall back to another valley. He said around midnight there was a flash of light, like a welding flash, and a large explosion. It only lasted few minutes. When they went back to the valley a few days there was an airfield made from what he described as obsidian. Planes where already off loading equipment and supplies.
    I was to trust that he wasn't FOS, but I haven't found anything online about that airstrip. I've even scanned Google earth for God knows how many weeks looking for anything.

      Super late reply, but for project Thor, the problem is that all that energy comes from somewhere. You have to boost stuff into space, burn to set up the orbit, then burn to de-orbit (both of which are impossible to do stealthily). It's about as fast on target to just mount a rod on an ICBM and do a suborbital strike from the ground.

    Hey Kyle. Love the show.
    Two additional drawbacks to project Thor:
    1. Once you build it, and get it up in orbit you have to maintain that orbit forever. If the orbit ever degrades, you drop all the rods on wherever it would fall. That would be a lot of energy.
    2. I don't think a "Rod from God" would impart nearly as much energy as it has. Though it contains roughly as much kinetic energy as the MOAB you showed on screen, I think most of that energy would be spent burying the rod deep underground (not in an explosion.) Given that the mass and velocity of the rod is so high, I think it would just punch clean through the target, akin to a bullet through paper. So, while the energy is high, it could be possible to be not very far from the impact site and be relatively unharmed.
    Additionally, you mentioned Project Thor would be "prohibitively expensive." I did some research to flesh that out a little more.
    2018 Price of Tungsten $30,300.00 /metric ton
    $30.30 /kg

    Volume of Rod 0.4 m^3
    Weight/Cubic meter 19250 kg
    Weight of single rod 7700 kg
    Cost of single Rod $233,310.00
    Number of Rods / Station 70
    Cost of Rods in station $16,331,700.00

    Weight of rods in station 539,000.00 kg
    Cost per kg - Falcon Heavy $1,700.00 /kg
    Cost of lifting rods into space $916,300,000.00

    Total cost of rods - Less manufacturing $932,631,700.00

    Cost of station - Half of ISS $75,000,000,000.00

      Also, shot placement is the overarching criteria to the entire endeavor. All of it is for naught if said rod cannot do the kinetic energy dump Precisely On Target. So there's that whole unbeatable guidance system to be perfected.
      However, the 'unshootdownable' characteristics of the cylinder make it very attractive.
      Now it's a cinderblock dropped from an overpass into the windshield of whoever's pissed off the Pentagon that week. But therein lies the rub... say somehow that infrastructure is in place, and the weapon system is viable, how does that then not become the new arms race? Especially since there is no fallout. All the times a nation wanted to nuke but didn't for political and MAD reasons?
      Now they could. Call it surgical. Essentially a 'tactical nuke' with no repercussions lasting generations.
      I imagine, by generation 3, it would be able to hit HVTs in moving vehicle convoys no problem. Plausible deniability is gone, but target destruction is 100% certain.

    I'm a huge nerd when it comes to the cold war, and one of the most important things about Project THOR is not only its cost, but its political ramifications! In 1967 *The Outer Space Treaty* was signed, and it laid out the basic legal framework for international space law. Among its principles it bars states party to the treaty from placing weapons of mass destruction in Earth orbit.
    This is incredibly important from a political point of view. Placing a weapon in space is literally aiming a gun at every single man, woman, and child on earth... and the weapon holder is effectively threatening the whole world at once. If you go to war with someone, they might want to remove your Orbital Weapons to protect themselves, and when they blow up your THORs, all of that space debris will scattershot across space, *creating a deadly cloud of shattered tungsten,* taking out friendly and peaceful satellites in it's path.
    This is why placing any weapons in space is *an EXTREMELY BAD IDEA!!!*
    Not to mention the threat of someone committing a Cyber Attack on your own THORs an then hacking them to attack you instead... or worse... one of your own Allies, sparking a war between you and your best friend!

    Jerry Pournelle teamed with sci-fi author Larry Niven to write several successful books. One of these books, FOOTFALL, actually features an alien race using kinetic energy weapons against the forces of Earth in an invasion attempt. Footfall also features the Earth Forces using another theoretical device known as Project Orion, which theorizes using nukes to launch ships into space, and then using them as a type of propulsion once in outer space. It's a cool book!

      Move the target to a Lagrange point and it becomes very economical to mine as that is the point you would want materials anyway or put it in orbit around the Earth as a temporary moon if you want to drop materials to the surface or create infrastructure in orbit.

    Hey Kyle , mother of all bombs is just the nickname for MOAB the acronym actually stands for massive ordnance air burst. They detonate above the ground more like an atomic bomb than the rods from god. Where a rod uses kinetic energy from impact, I believe the MOAB and nuclear bombs use the stacking up of blast waves to increase their power. This is something scientists studied after the Halifax explosion during WW1. Thanks Kyle love the show been a long time fan. Remember a villain can be a hero from a certain point of view. Have fun buddy from a friendly Canadian eh.

And because of how large and easy to track they should’ve been really simple to hit.
    And time was not the problem, the US army had known about Godzilla since the 80s and warheads had already been tested on it and proved futile.
