Have you ever hit space debris?

It's basically almost impossible due to the way frames are calculated, plus the vastness of space.

The two objects in question will just "pass" right through each other if they are moving at any kind of real speed.

Good to know, recently I have been having close (~20 Km) with space debris and was getting a little worried...

Do any of you devote time to space junk cleaning missions? It's in my to-do list but there is always something else to do...

The closest I came was when I had to "swerve" to avoid some once. IIRC I thrust radially to avoid it as I was on a docking intercept with a station some way ahead. It was an orange tank from some previous launch.and I missed it by 30m or so.

In an earlier save I used to go round cleaning up until I got bored / realised the chance of hitting debris was miniscule, This was before the incident above however...
