+ | The satellite with HAL is on it's way back to Earth but behind the satellite is a number of small asteroids. A member of the recovery team, David Lightman, tells you that there is a defunct Earth defense floating space station that is very far from Earth which can be hacked into. You have been tasked with operating this projectile defense system (PDS for short). | ||

+ | * The mass of a defense projectile is about $20\,{\rm kg}$, made out of sticky Space Clay™. | ||
+ | * The average mass of an attack projectile is about $5$ times that of a defense projectile, usually made of a solid metallic material. | ||

+ | Complete the code below to simulate **before and after an interception (collision)** for a worst case scenario: an attack projectile being launched directly towards headquarters at its largest ever recorded velocity $\langle 225,-400,0 \rangle\, | ||
