Unless your upper half happened to be on the upper path of one of those things. Then it would probably be amazing for like a nanosecond. In the most macabre way I suppose. But just a nanosecond. After that when you fully realize what happened there probably wouldn't be much you left to keep realizing anything past that.

You can launch payloads into orbit with less pollution and for cheaper. You can build habitations with the material and bring humans up the traditional way.

Of course though, the powers that be are going to be more interested in killing each other.
