The asteroid belt is mostly empty space

Gaston has dodged asteroids for three hours.

He has not seen one yet.

Gaston: In the films it is rocks, rocks, rocks! Boom!

Pip: You just swerved around nothing.

The Wolf: The belt is mostly empty space. On average, about 1.9 million miles between one-mile asteroids. Nearly eight times the way to the Moon.

Gaston: Then who have I been swerving around?

Pip: Empty space, Gaston. Just empty space.

Gaston: Then nothing can hit me!

Pip: Two million miles of empty space. And your apple got you.
