Ardit.. I just thought they brought their wifes with them.. "slow down", "watch out for that rock", " be careful", "do you know how to drive?", "You never listen to ;-)

The only video on youtube that answerd my question so clearly

[mikearrieta]

Very interesting! The odds for these objects to collide are so low! This is so good in terms to navigate into space

All digital videos about asteroid belts are showing rocks with a few meters distance among them.

So to answer the question about how they avoid collisions... is that they just don't? lmao not what I was expecting

[pupplementarypupplements]

lol so basically we just cross our fingers huh

[BogosortLife]

Spacecraft = Software; Asteroid = User. The User ALWAYS find a way to bug the software hahaha

[goldengun]

I also not worried because it isn't very often i am flying in space

[isysrose]

does anyone know how we know if object in space will collide

[Snowmen]

So we should be more concerned about Car collisions, the chances are 70 in every 100 cars 😏
