The real asteroid belt is not nearly as tightly packed as what people think. Out of the numerous probes we've sent past Mars since the beginning of the space program, not a single one has been damaged in any way by an impact flying through that section of space. In fact, when the Dawn probe went to Vesta and Ceres, the transit time between the two bodies was MONTHS of flying through said belt, with no damage to any part of the Dawn probe. It really is a boring section of space that you almost have to intentionally try to fly into something,
Thank you
Are you vaccinated? I hope not, because future humanity needs your kind of intellect. If not, well... we're fucked. But you knew that already, didn't you? You have that great sense of kill humor.
