I'll start this one off with Asteroid Launcher! Select your asteroid's size, speed, and angle of atmospheric entry. Select where it touches down and launch! It will give you the width and depth of the crater along with the estimated number of people vaporized within the crater's radius. Fun for the who family! (One of the first comments posted where I saw this was from somebody showing the results of hitting Mar-a-Lago.)

So: let's sort a few things out, shall we?

I'll be 86 then. Maybe some laser will be able to knock it out or maybe I'll be too gone mentally to care.
