I always thought that the modules are tough enough to withstand those type of impacts. It must have been whizzing along at a great rate of knots.

Perhaps some serious effort needs to be put into "Star trek" type, resonating frequency shields. There must be some economically useful part of the spectrum we can take advantage of....

Yeah Baz, Matter/Anti-matter shielding would be handy, but gotta be careful it doesn't warp the Space-Time continuum! Ya canna change tha laws o physics.
