screw the foam; add a diverter
the main thing is to protect the front edge of the wing. Divert the debris.

2. Shut down all NASA space launches.
Put the NASA budget into prize money to be won by people who can deliver machines that perform specific tasks.

8. Exactly! I mean, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that.
Or, uh...

But anyway! People are going to say, well, this thing has to fly through space, and how's a light little thing like that going to survive in space? Well listen up, SMART GUY and learn a few things, I'd tell 'em! 'Cause guess what COLLEGE BOY, there's no gravity in space! So how much it weighs doesn't even matter, now does it!

That'd learn 'em. Get offa my lawn!
