    Googled - In case you were wondering about the thickness - this was not in space. It is a land based test NASA did to show the damage. And another source said the projectile was 1.2 ounce, not 1/2 ounce. But that's still a big hole from a little thing moving really fast. -- Bonus info, to thig is " the act of begging". I typoed thing as thig and wondered why it didn't flag as a spelling error. I didn't know thig was a word.
