In space are pebbles or small stones randomly floating around? Or do we know that beyond generally gravitating to other planets/stars/masses, its almost impossible to think of stray stones or rocks simply hanging out inbetween 2 indeterminate points/planets? When I hear about a "space sail" being used some day that can theoretically go faster and faster, I wonder if a random pebble/iron ore floating in space the size of a finger nail being impacted at hundreds or thousands of miles by the space sail at just the right spot could destroy the whole thing.
