Isn't it amazing how many are out there? I knew there were a lot, but I had no idea how crowded it was getting out there until I started playing around with that simulation. :-)

There seem to be three groups of orbits. Close to earth there are so many satellites it is just a cloud. Farther out there is the ring [like Saturn] of commsats. And then there are others, a random category, that seem to be all over the place.

Dude, I think I just deleted a Russian satellite by accident. Take cover.
