There was no mention of "warp speed" in the video, and the stated speed of 64,000 mph is still slow as molasses in comparison to light speed, which is 186,000 miles per SECOND. In miles per hour, that'd be 669.6 MILLION miles per hour.
As far as being ripped to shreds, there is empty vacuum in space, so there's nothing to rip it.
Meteors are small space rocks which burn up in the earth's atmosphere. Asteroids are very large space rocks, some as big as small moons, which orbit the sun.
The smaller space rocks luckily are extremely spread out and to my knowledge have never hit a manned or unmanned space vehicle. Otherwise satellites orbiting the earth would be frequently destroyed by such and manned space flight, including the ISS, would be impossible.
