Yet another "spaceship moving at .9c" thread
What I'd like to see a thread about is what would happen if a spaceship, moving at .9c, were to impact a planet. Let's say the spaceship was 100,000 metric tons, roughly the size of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.
It's not hard to figure out the energy of the spaceship, but it's harder to estimate the physical effects.
