| (...) don't forget the old phylosophy that the faster you go, the greater the chance that small particles will hit you. So at 1/2 the speed of light, you would definately need some form of shielding. An old, and possible, idea is to use a barrier of (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, but also in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, the sleeker it is, the less resistance it encounters on it's forward edge. If you minimize the amount of forward contact on the front, less particles would hit it, causing less overall damage. (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
