Shooting Stars & Space Robots

Sophia and I stood outside together admiring the beautiful stars tonight:

Me: Did you know that shooting stars aren't really stars?
S: They aren't?
Me: No, they're actually space rocks flying through the atmosphere so fast that they catch on fire and burn up. Sometimes you can see them shooting through the sky really, really fast....
S: But what will happen to the robots!
Me: What robots?
S: What will happen to all the robots in space? The space rocks  might hit them really hard and knock their batteries out and the robots won't work anymore.
Me: I guess you're right. I've never thought about that.
S: I don't want to go to space. It's too dangerous.
Me: I don't want to go to space either. I'd rather stay right here with you....
