Build it appropriately. That's not a big issue, just a matter of engineering. Ask an aerospace engineer. If you want an existing solution, try an ablative layer like on the old NASA capsules, or tiles like Shuttle. Or just make it bigger. Again, ask an appropriate engineer.
Again, it
will happen: space
will be militarized, even if it's started by commercial interests. They have to protect their assets, if nothing else.
