I'm going to presume it's same principals as airplane travel. Once you're in the air, there's pretty much nothing that you can interact with except weather and air pockets. Collisions between planes are almost non existent. The most dangerous aspects of flight are take off and landing: if you're going to have an accident, chances are its during those procedures. My uncle died in Mexico City when his plane landed on an incorrect runway in 1979. If you're afraid of flying, like me, just focus on the fact that you are very VERY unlikely to have some kind of catastrophic mechanical failure while in the air.

Now let's extrapolate that to space travel. Once you're in space, there's very little to interact with, even less than airplane travel. Space is largely empty...that's why it's called space.
Why everyone thinks space travel is dangerous, when in reality, it's far more vast then you can imagine.
Ironically, the two space shuttle disasters, Challenger and Columbia, occurred during takeoff and reentry/landing respectively.

Even during the Apollo program, the only fatalities were from a test procedure for Apollo 1 caused by mechanical failure that started a fire.

Did you just spend two entire paragraphs explaining why takeoff/landing is the most dangerous part of space travel and then call it ironic that the two major disasters we've experienced were during takeoff and landing?

Ironic that the first major shuttle disaster was the takeoff and The second was the landing.

My high school friends Language Arts book was like this to the max.

Highlights included Robert Frost cutting wood with a hatchet with a drawn cock in his free hand and Martin Luther Kings “I have had a dream” speech

Story time:

Long ago in my youth I lived by a church, and the preacher's son was a friend. He had watched me defeat Ultima 2 on the C64 and loved how Minax would say "Die fool!"

So next sunday there are these little booklets you get for this sort of religious indoctrination before church services called "sunday school". In one there was a photo of Jesus preaching on an elevated surface with a beggar groveling in the foreground.

The preacher's son inked in jesus to give him a wraithlike appearance and drew beams out of his eyes striking down the beggar in flames with the speech bubble "Die fool!"

One of the deacons (deacons are like a church elder / leader) found it next sunday and gave a long speech about devilry.

Now through the power of AI, I can finally re-enact this pivotal moment in my past, though I couldn't quite make it do beams coming out of eyes:
