Space is so vast, and satellites are so small. I imagine it like two people with BB guns standing at either end of a football field who are blindfolded and asked to shoot their BB guns in the air. What are the odds of those two BB’s colliding in mid-air? Probably roughly the same odds of two satellites being on a collision course.
