Comment on Military Aircraft Hit Mach 20 Before Ocean Crash, DARPA Saysparent

That gives me an interesting idea. Do you think it could be feasible to mine ore from space and then drop-ship it to some low-depth (a few hundred feet at most) part of the ocean? The heat from re-entry would likely turn the metal into a molten blob, and the sea water would rapidly cool it.

Can they guide things that accurately without assisting it mid-flight? If so, that's a cool idea, dunno if it's actually practical.
