Shield and Goo

The following recollection here is 10 years old...so things are getting hazy....

The wife of a mate of mine was developing some weird goop at Cornell called Aerogel or something similar. Apparently it can't exist in an earth environment, only in space ( I can't remember what realm of space this was). It is supposedly really good for absorbing micro-particle impacts. The plan was to coat lunar / Martian buildings with it.

Combine this with the shield and I think you would be mostly OK.
