Maybe some of you finished school a long time ago, but you surely remember what kinetic energy is. However, for those who do not remember or did not have a good grade in physics, here is the definition to remind us. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Precisely this kinetic energy was used for kinetic bombardment or a kinetic orbital strike. What is that? Nothing is clear to you now, is it? Don't worry, we will clarify everything right away. According to the definition, a kinetic bombardment or a kinetic orbital strike is the hypothetical act of attacking a planetary surface with an inert kinetic
projectile from orbit (orbital bombardment), where the destructive power comes from the kinetic energy of the projectile impacting at very high speeds. Kinetic bombardment has the advantage of being able to deliver projectiles from a very high angle at a very high speed, making them extremely difficult to defend against. In addition, projectiles would not require explosive warheads, and in the simplest designs, would consist entirely of solid metal rods, giving rise to the common nickname ''Rods from God''.
