What are the odds of successfully navigating through an asteroid field?


You guys have been watching too many TV shows and movies. Asteriod fields are still mostly empty space. Space in general is really really empty.

NASA has flown quite a few probes through the solar asteriod field with little to no course corrections. If you fly something straight and blindly through the solar system's asteriod field, you'll almost certainly make it through unscathed.

Yuo mean you don't have to put it through the navicomputer first!?
 
You can believe in little green dudes who talk backwards, and swords made of laser beams, and giant worms the size of the Grand Canyon that live in the vacuum of space, but not in an asteroid field that's hard to navigate through?







😉 Just teasing!
 
Speaking of that...where the fsck is my ligthsaber? I've been wanitng one for years, and if they can have red Mountain Dew, they better have a frikken lightsaber! 😉

I am sorry i have to quote on this again...


Almost certainly could work out to be...3720:1 right?!

So if I shoot you in the head with a 12 gauge you will have a 50/50 chance of pulling through?
LOL
Yes, either I will or I won't.

 
3720:1

Are these the odds at the USA wiping out the words Middle East within the next few months?
 
Always let the wookie win!!

My Bro has a Star Wars poster on his wall, it has that on it (I thought of Star Wars as soon as I saw this thread 😀)
