![]() An early description of the likely result of a meteor striking a spacecraft.
Here's another illustrated example of a meteorite striking a ship, from Liners of Space (1930) by Jim Vanny.
A blinding flash — a terrific impact — a deafening report within the car!
The Swan was drifting aimlessly. The meteorite had only glanced off the cutter but had delivered a blow of sufficient force to disable the ship. A quick nspection showed that a large section of the nose together with part of the operating equipment had been torn away and the air in that compartment had escaped. The ship was helpless.
