If there are many satellites orbiting earth, how do space launches not bump into any of them?
In: 2066
Quite simple. Of the roughly 40,000 tracked human-created objects larger than a baseball in orbit around the earth (of which about 7500 are actual satellites and not just debris), if all of them were in low earth orbit at 500km, each one would have share of space approximately the size of Switzerland.
