NASA answers "Gravity."

But, NASA cannot deny those scenarios are based in the reality of space physics. The antidote to "Gravity" is to realize space is a dangerous place and the only way to completely protect astronauts from alternate realities is to build a Star Trek like WayStation. A place human beings actually have a structure strong enough to protect them from accelerated debris or objects. That, however, is a very expensive deal and is military focused which is nonsense. Private industry could never afford to build such a station in space.
