I know the sky is big, but how much crap can we put up there before they all start “pinballing” around.

"According to Musk, SpaceX has actually entirely gotten rid of a satellite-dispenser middle-man, instead relying on the structure of the satellites themselves to act as their own launch adapters and deployment mechanisms."'

Starlink is a satellite constellation development project underway by ... SpaceX, to develop a low-cost, high-performance satellite bus and requisite customer ground transceivers to implement a new space-based Internet communication system. SpaceX also plans to sell satellites that use a satellite bus that may be used for military, scientific or exploratory purposes.

I would be more impressed if those satellite, given their shape were packed in a giant PEZ type dispenser with a giant Elon Musk head popping them out of its mouth.
