Actually, the universe is mostly made up of empty space. Thus unless the size of the craft you were using was around the size of a galaxy or something absurd like that you would never really hit anything.
Universe is mostly empty space

Its only dodgy science books which make us think that the universe is full of stuff, when in fact even our solar system is empty space.

As an analogy think of the atom; if an atom was the size of a football field the Nucleus would be about the size of a pin in the middle of this field. Although yes, quantum mechanics and the heisenberg principle does make this analogy a bit invalid.
If atoms are 99.999999999999% empty space...
