Near earth space will be awfully crowded. I wonder what the US Air Force thinks about all these high-speed bullets whizzing around?

These satellites will be well above low earth orbit operations.

“Near earth space will be awfully crowded.”

To wrap my mind around it on a much, much smaller scale, I can visualize 4,425 ‘red’ inner-tubes floating in the ocean. Wonder what the odds of 1,400 ‘blue’ inner-tubes (randomly) hitting a red one are? Add in another variable of weighing the tubes to submerge to different depths and the odds grow even more.
