That is why starships have shields, to deflect objects like this.

It was a strike more powerful than they had prepared for, but the telescope is still operating better than they had hoped for even with this new defect.

I wondered how long it would take and it didn’t take long.
How many years? How many billions of dollars?
They never learn. They don’t have to. They spend play money and they don’t earn it.
What should we expect from a society that will pay $100 million for Taylor Swift’s cat to endorse products?
Not much.
Such a society should not last long but it does somehow.
Amazing isn’t it?
