Large styrofoam ball. Or shell, with materials of
gradually increasing density/resistance/toughness--
toward the center (which can be hollow and have a
functioning satellite inside). All objects below a
certain mass, would just plunge in and be absorbed.
Splashback from the surface would be low because at
that level the object cuts through the lowest density
foam.
Shouldn't all satellites be encased in a cocoon of
foam?
Best, Jeff Davis
