I've always wondered, if decades in the future, a terrorist attack might occur by somebody nudging an asteroid towards Earth. I'm not the only person thinking this, it was a major plot point in the TV show 'The Expanse'.
Question: How would the terrorists ensure it hurts the people they want and not their own?
In modern-traditional terrorism from the middle-east they do this by convincing fellow terrorist that they be honored for their sacrifice of life.
The point is to do the greatest amount of damage and create terror levels fear. Not to survive their own.
Also god is going to make sure it lands where it needs. Such is 100% guaranteed, oc.
