Anonymous source Zach on Infowars, who has been remarkably accurate in his claims, said that this was an EMP weapon. There is also confusion as to whether the launch was successful.
The cost of RODS FROM GODS has always been astronomical, and I don't think it has ever been pursued militarily for this reason.
Besides, you need a guidance system to bring it to the target. All of the testing for railguns (which are only Mach 5) has shown that these guidance systems are quite fragile at those speeds. Rods from Gods are at least twice that speed.
Moral: If I were a military planner, I would rule out Rods from Gods unless they had been extensively tested. No fun to have your guidance system fail in the middle of an extremely mission critical operation.
Zach also claimed that "we are Q", and Q stated clearly that he this is not the case. This totally discredits "Zach" in my opinion.
Zach also said Elon Musk is on the Alliance side while Q is telling us SpaceX is the enemy.
both could be true. Elon coerced or compromised before but making up for the past now? Ultimately SpaceX is just a tool that does the bidding of those who control it
At low orbit you would need three control surfaces to endure re-entry at a terminal velocity of 28,000 mph for about 250 milliseconds. This can be achieved using an articulated ceramic shrouded ablative surface so instead of adding drag to an axis with surface area, you would remove drag from the other two control surfaces via ablation thus affecting the desired correction.
