I read in one of your archieves that spacecraft can be damaged if they encounter ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, however could we shield such a spaceship? Is it at least theoretically possible to shield a spacecraft from ultrahigh energy cosmic ray impact by making the walls very dense and thick, or use some new types of material that can heal themselves, or any other means?
