Less likely than the astronaut being hit by lightning on the way to the landing pad. (And pretty much all the other things that could go catastrophically wrong.)

You could draw a line as thick as the Earth in a random direction for 40 light years, every second, for a year, and the odds of hitting anything, other than the sun and the moon would still be a fraction of a fraction one percent.

Folks just don't understand how little there really is out there:
