What if Wild Animals fought along side humans in Wars(either like normal or humanoid animals with human intelligence)?

Wouldn’t the answer be as simple as: It would destroy the house and you’d die if you were inside of it?

[jamesfry]

That space rocks worth a heck of a lot

If it has newly discovered minerals, I'd sell it to an agency. No less than a Billion.

If a meteorite were to crash into your home, it would likely cause severe damage and potential injuries or fatalities.

Meteorites can vary greatly in size and composition, but most are made of rock and can weigh from a few grams to several tons. Even a small meteorite traveling at high speeds can cause significant damage upon impact. A meteorite crashing into your home would likely cause the structure to collapse and cause severe damage to the surrounding area.

The impact of a meteorite would also create a massive explosion, which would create a blast wave that can cause severe damage to buildings and other structures within a certain radius of the impact site. This explosion would also generate a significant amount of heat and fire, which would cause further damage and could start widespread fires.

If the meteorite is large enough, the impact could create a crater, and the debris from the impact could be scattered over a large area, potentially causing damage and injuries to people and properties far from the impact site.

Injuries and fatalities would depend on the size and composition of the meteorite, as well as the location and time of the impact. If the meteorite crashes into a densely populated area, the injuries and fatalities would likely be significant.

It's worth noting that the likelihood of a meteorite hitting your home is very low, and it's considered a rare event. The majority of meteorites that reach the Earth's surface are small, and they burn up in the atmosphere before they reach the ground.

Overall, if a meteorite were to crash into your home, it would likely cause severe damage and potential injuries or fatalities. It's a rare event, but it's important to be aware of the potential risks and to have emergency plans in place.
