I find it funny that someone wrote bulletproof in the specifications of the windows. Is the bulletproof term used in the space industry?

The funny part is that what they actually need is much stronger than merely "bulletproof," if only it had been invented.

"spaceproof" would sound much cooler, to be honest.

"Earthlings thrash proof" would be more accurate.

Did you mean to say trash?

Yes..yes i did ;)

Meteorite proof?

Bullet proof is a little open ended for a spec.

Meteor may be a tad vague. “What do you mean it’s not Chicxulub proof?”

I think the closest would be "hypervelocity-impact resistant".

Thanks, I thought it was an unusual colloquialism for "couple of"
