Do we actually have navigation technology to travel at 8% c without crashing into deadly space debris? Or more general: Space travel isn't just about speed.

- api 7y agoSpace is called space for a reason. Even in real life asteroid rich orbits the odds of hitting something are very low. Pulp sci-fi asteroid fields like the ones depicted in Star Wars are just not a thing. Outside the inner solar system the odds of hitting anything are so low the risk doesn't really rank in comparison with things like major equipment failure in transit.
