Space is crazy big, and compared to space satellites are small, even the ones that are the size of a bus are still small. There is a lot more room up there, and satellites are at all kinds of different altitudes. You could spend your entire life on a satellite and never see another satellite. Even if you were “close” to one it still would just be a glimmer of light, you probably wouldn’t even notice.
