Not to question your wicked math skillz, but I think shooting darts from space might have less than 100% chance of happening if it were, y'know, free throws. You could pretty easily skip that dart right off the atmosphere and hit something else entirely if you got the attack angle wrong, and would the dart make it through re-entry? Those folks in Houston moved to a blunt nose re-entry style for some, likely important, reason.
