Original Note:
While the number of satellites in orbit is smaller than the number of ships in the sea, satellites in Low Earth Orbit move at far greater speeds (around 28000 km/h or 17000 miles/h). This greatly increases the chance of collisions, and makes even tiny paint specks dangerous. https://x.com/JoelSercel/status/1860087683084964227
