Hey, thanks, that was pretty good!

Just what is your thesis anyway?

As far as shielding the back from the hole left by the engine(s), I think 
we are going to have to put two shields on the ship or perhaps we can spin 
the habitable section's shield between the engine and the habitat? This may 
turn out to be too complicated though.
