The chance of hitting anything at all on a random trajectory is extremely low, on the order of one in a million. http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/26712/what-is-the-average-distance-between-objects-in-our-asteroid-belt http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/26712/what-is-the... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_distance_between_asteroids_in_the_asteroid_belt http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_distance_betwe...
