Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] A colony ship with 5000 human passengers in stasis is heavily damaged in a meteor shower. While the onboard computer does not have the raw materials needed for repairs, it calculates that it has a very large amount of organic matter and a genetics lab.

It’s not a meteor until it enters a planet’s atmosphere.

A space ship can’t be destroyed by a meteor shower unless it’s on the ground.

Then… probably damaged while refueling in Jupiter before leaving the Sol system? I dunno.
