This is a really interesting site. It is a wonder there are not more collisions.

Lots of stuff, but lots more space.

Great site! The animation is not to scale. Space is really large. Also, all sats in GEO are moving at the exact same speed and in the same direction, so collisions are rare.If the separation between sats in GEO is one degree, then they are still over 200 miles apart.

"It is a wonder there are not more collisions."

And this site doesn't even include the over half million pieces of space junk and debris that are tracked by NASA. It's really getting to be a mess.

i watched the space station go by tonight and thought the same thing. This beautiful thing passing across the sky, i wonder if it will hit some space junk and that will be that. I know i’m weird, but I get a text message from NASA every time it crosses in my area and I go out to the deck to watch it pass through the skyline. I actually enjoy watching it cross the sky at night and imagine what they must see. Kind of cool.
