The asteroid belt is awesome, we have really only just opened our eyes in the last 40 years. in 1980 there were a little over 9,000 known asteroids. In 2014 there were over 600,000 known asteroids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k2vkLEE4ko edit: if you dont watch that in fullscreen HD, you might as well not watch it.

Not hard at all. 600,000 might sound like a lot but they are spread out across an area many billions of times greater than the Earth. It is more likely that you would collide with a giraffe while driving to the shops than it is that you'd collide with an asteroid while travelling through the belt.
