Haley called. Wants that comet back, since apparently you can't accurately predict where things will be in a straight-line path in space over time when you know the physics variables involved and no outside forces are moving the objects in the interim.
Given where Klendathu is shown to be, and how we have no reason to believe it was fired at FTL or even relativistic speeds, it would have taken centuries to reach Earth.
If they haven't been at war for centuries, why would Klendathu have any reason whatsoever to target Earth?
Lead and copper are just metals, but we can get pretty precise with those. It's even easier in the vacuum of space.
Are they thrown, or guided with thrusters?
And that's just one solar system. This is tens of thousands of solar systems away.
Bullshit.
They just wanted to send people off to war to fuel the war economy.
Note that the BOOK is great. I'm talking solely about the movie here.
The movie did give us some great memes, though, can't deny that. "Would you like to know more?"

How long has humanity been fighting these bugs?
How many light years did that rock travel?

The story is bullshit.
