It still sounds so wild for some reason! 60X closer!

You’re saying these and other satellites are planned for this ‘shell’ and maybe others at different distances? Could this be partly due to congestion and the problem of ‘space junk’?

Also, won’t satellites in an orbit this close to earth eventually be ‘sucked’ in to the atmosphere and burn up?
