    Can it properly be said to be one stone once it got through the atmosphere?

      I doubt the atmosphere had much chance to break it up much since it was 10-15 km wide. Not like the little Chelyabinsk.

      Of course, it’s like my f+#-: kidney stone. If it was just a bunch of chunks from the start I wouldn’t have pissed blood.
