They have the deflector beam to prevent that. It pushes everything out of the way so they don't hit it. That is the big round thing right on the front.

I have been watching all the original episodes of Star Trek on Amazon. They have the remastered version on Amazon. It is in HD now so it is real easy to see the seam on Spock's ears. It is funny how low budget the props were. And it was done so long ago. There are no flat screen gizmos. Kirk gets updates on a piece of paper. In the Pilot episode before Kirk when Capt. The episode where Pike is captured they show the orders come out like a FAX.

The original communicators were HUGE. Bigger than a iPhone 7 plus, and the gold lid opened up and had the transistors in view. Since Transistors were high tech back then that was something to show. The communicators were reduced in size a few episodes later.

Yea, I am a geek.
