They have Whipple bumpers on the ISS that catch meteorites of that size:How many hits can such a shield withstand? What size objects? How to protect numerous and huge solar panels? The Pioneers and Voyagers allegedly flew vast distances, including the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, and never collided with anything in space? This is statistically impossible. Not to mention the degree of diffusion (scattering) of the radio signal proportional to the distance.

If they didn't have those, then they would be punctured quite regularly.
