Using the power of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics let's show that it would take an impossible set of circumstances to punch a space rock all the way through the planet Earth.
The problem is that simply making an object go faster adds more energy than momentum, instead you need either an impossibly dense object, or, an impossible strong object. Neutron stars can move through the earth as if it were the vacuum of space, but, then you have an object thousands of times the mass of the Earth.

All these 'simulations' are done using SpaceSim
