Malaysia Space Race: Space Based Kinetic Bombardment Weapon

The people of Kuala Lumpur are at awe watching the Royal Malaysian Navy fleet newest weapon in the sky. Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato Najeb were proud to announce to the world on the new Space Based Kinetic Bombardment Weapon (SBKBW 01)

"Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!"

In the SBKBW 01 firing room, a group of Naval gunners starts priming the SBKBW 01 Kinetic Bombardment Weapon - a device so advanced it can be trained on capital city, and destroy it to oblivion.

A series of tones signify that the weapon is ready and a huge kinetic projectile roars down a firing shaft. A kinetic bombardment is the act of attacking a planetary surface with an inert projectile, where the destructive force comes from the kinetic energy of the projectile impacting at very high velocities.

Scientis describe the fire power as extreme force that can be explained by the formula Ek = mv2/2, where Ek is the kinetic energy, m the mass of the object and v its velocity. In layman term it literally means " a huge freaking hole in the ground"
