It's currently moving at about 12,000 kph and will be slightly sped up to 17,000 kph if it actually hits us. That is not a significant enough portion of C to be anything but a city killer. This thing isn't even a Tsar Bomba in terms of energy output. More like a Mark 17.

Regrub just said can we make it go faster, so i guess it would need to be increased much much more than 17,000 kph, which seems slow for galactic/cosmic speeds.
Wonder how much more energy it would need.
Someone get Randal Monroe on this stat!
Lol
I think you'd need to nearly double the velocity for it to be remotely close. I think I saw something like 30-40k km/h before it's at that level
