Moreover the "Asteroid belt" is a collection of large massive bodies ranging from the size of a car to small worlds. It is not a chaotic zone of dust and debris like those depicted in sci-fi films and video games. There are vast stretches of space separating each and every body.
About a million miles is the average distance between asteroids in the asteroid belt.

"About a million miles is the average distance between asteroids in the asteroid belt." Really? Interesting factoid, hmmmm, I would have thought closer than that.
