    Interspace is empty on a level that is hard to imagine.

    There are 2.652×10^25 molecules in one m^3 of air.

    That is 26520000000000000000000000.

    In intellar space?

    The is 1.

    IE: the probe would hit more atoms in one second on earth moving at 1 m/s than it would travelling the entire age of the universe so far through interstellar space.

    Even the space between the planets is thick with matter by comparison.
