How is it when we launch spacecraft out to orbit other planets or eventually to go to the moon, the craft don’t collide with all the space junk up there?

Question

The ISS is under constant threat of being destroyed by debris, so when we (eventually) launch astronauts to go to the moon or when we launched like Juno or New Horizons, how did they not get destroyed by the space junk?

Answer 1

There is very little space junk out there compared to how much space there is, most of the junk is in certain locations notably where we want to put many of the satellites, the probes spend very little time in the danger area – https://youtu.be/Km2uemAqbbM
