Space Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Into Night Sky

yes, I meant a comma (in my natural language a period stands as a separator between groups of 3 digits). Speaking of Voyager.. how do they manage not to hit it into other space object like meteorits or even very small fragments of rock. I guess any collision (even with a very small piece of rock) would destroy it instantly

I think for most things probes and astronauts do in space, they assume the probability of a seriously damaging collision is low enough that they don't even plan for it. All they do is hope it doesn't happen. For microscopic particles even atomic size, I think they try to shield for them because those collisions are much more likely and easier to deal with. The most danger for serious collisions is with space garbage near Earth. Voyager's area is clear after billions of years of dust settling.

The danger of a serious collision near Earth is high enough because of 2 colliding satellites that for the latest Hubble Space Telescope mission, they have an extra shuttle ready for rescuing the astronauts if something goes wrong. They are also using the shuttle's wings to shield against collisions with tiny pieces. Even a colliding screw would probably be enough to fly through their shuttle and kill the astronauts, though. hehe Still unlikely enough that they are doing it.

lmao i know sometimes i just think they think of them on the fly

Astronauts train for 8 or more hours a day for almost 4 years, Its like a normal work day. The astronauts train all day then go home.
