In that case keep spamming and you'll find out what a proper restriction looks like soon.

But there was no restricting. You were politely asked to stop spamming.
Doesn't seem like something that needs to be posted at all.
Right, but this is a community about Europe.
Building nukes isn't that expensive. The most expensive part is probably building the enrichment facilities, but that's a one-time investment. Once you have all the material, a nuke isn't that complicated to build. A bunch of students basically designed one that was deemed to be functional.
On the other hand, launching hundreds, possibly thousands of multi-ton projectiles into orbit is extremely expensive. And of course you have to maintain them in space somehow, possibly for decades. Either that or you have to de-orbit and replace them, which would mean regularly bombarding the ocean or some desert ...
It's just not practical. Even if it was I highly doubt it would be cheaper.
Where do you get these rocks though? There is actually a similar concept that uses tungsten rods instead of rocks.
But the entire thing isn't really practical. If you want the ability to strike any place on earth in a reasonable time, you'd to have hundreds of tungsten rod equipped satellites (or rocks with rocket engines attached to them) in orbit at the same time.
I'm not sure it would actually be cheaper than just using nukes on ballistic missiles.
That would be a really shitty nuke. Like around 10% of a Davy Crockett.
Wean yourself off the caffeine addiction.
I don't really care why, just glade it's the case.
But most of it will have a speed limit.
