Lots of comments about what a shield would need to look like to protect against this. That’s not the way to think about this in the very near future. The space station and nearly everything in space up until now, is designed with very small mass and tolerances because it’s so expensive to get there in the first place.

As the cost of mass to orbit lowers by orders of magnitude in, likely, the next decade, we can begin seeing spacecraft that are far more durable, redundant and agile. They will have ample propellant to move out of the way and they will have life support systems and failure modes designed to withstand and allow for the repair of small impacts.
