Speaking of the odds and probability; the 1 in a million applies if we are talking about random events. However most large objects within our solar system are not moving on random patterns; quite often there is a definable flight path or orbit at work.
Here's something I've wondered about though. What if something quite massive were to slam into the moon at the right angle? Could we run the risk of the moon coming crashing down upon us? I'm thinking that could hurt.
