Ahh, Mark, The stuff dreams are made of. With a simple deflection the advanced scientist might be able to "nuke" his mother-in-law. Nice idea but, it seems to me that we have a tough enough time calculating man made space debris re-entry points/times....much less some object travelling at an incoming speed of say, 20,000 or 30,000 miles per hour. I dare say I'd prefer not to risk it...unless you are maybe talking about a little rock the size of a 19 inch TV. Then feel free to drop it in my back yard.
