Hi,

I wonder if this is why flying saucers are saucer shaped?

A continuous acceleration flight at one g, a tenth of a g or 0.01g;
results in a maximum speed at the mid-point that is very fast so the
relative velocity is huge even if you hit a tiny piece of matter, a
micro-meteorite or a flake of paint from another ship. Micrometeorites
are fast enough the
