The Almighty Bob said "wouldn't a crowbar burn up on re-entry?"

Damn right it would. That's why you drop one of those barrels of Toxi-Goo TM
on them with a truster on the back and a sensor/targeting package strapped on
the heat-shielded nosecone.

Even better, your corporate decker takes over someone else's satellite and
plays with their maneuvering jets, dropping it on someone's head. Sure, it'll
take a long time, but it'll be devastating to a permanent installation when it
hits.

As to my idea of the WaveSat: There was a proposal floating around in the 70'
s & 80's to put microwave receptors on the wings of an SST, and a satellite in
orbit converting solar energy into a microwave beam to power the hydrogen
engines on board the SST. It got deep-sixed over concerns that, if the
satellites tracking ever missed the SST, the beam would bake the landscape.

Speaking of which, are there SR stats for those little microwave beamers? Talk
about getting baked. Heh.
