        1)  No, My physics teacher (Jimbo) said that if we did, the
pieces coming towards the Earth would pull themselves apart and it would
burn up in the atmosphere.

        2) C4 anybody?  Don't think it requires Oxygen

        3)  Probably

        Anyone played the Dig (they blow an asteroid up there)
