From what altitude were the "Rods from God" supposed to be dropped from?

you would have to wait for the mother fucker to get in position. It would take just a few hours for one to go from geo to sea level. They would need rocket guidance but still, you could cover half the planet with one satellite.

psst, same thing for laser satellites. Diffusion won't happen until you get like 60 miles from earth so you're good to have that sat in geo sync.

This works and also doesn't work. You spend a lot of energy loading them. On top of that, people watching your launches are like
>hey why do you have giant tungsten rods on your shit
so you have to spend a bucket on fake satellites to run cover for it.
This weapon is much scarier in a space mining age.
Politically speaking, I would argue that each nation should be permitted to have one of these in space at our current paradigm. Like a fuck you button with the resulting judgement of the world keeping them in check. A sword of demascus hanging over a communities of peoples.
A single nuke would do the same, but there is not very effective(any?) means to ensure a country only gets one nuke, meanwhile a launch into space is significantly easier to monitor.

Least of the problems with such a system. If you're going to go that far, might as well have at it with a strategic nuke.

Another cold war schizo project. Why bother with all this shit when you just infect people with bat viruses.

Because you want to destroy the society's infrastructure not necessarily the slaves.
