Due to the science of low earth orbit, it takes just long enough for the chunk of ground to traverse its distance that the Point Defense System on the X-70K zaps it.

Reinforcements at Mars distance. Several streaks of blue energy fly past the X-70K and impact the grasslands, each exploding with enough force to knock down an apartment building. Fortunately none of the explosions are close.
