Starlink satellites are a bit bigger than that from what I can gather on google at least. > came "close" to colliding, when a half second later they would be 8000 meters apart. So is a bullet if it goes through you. Space is big but the orbits these satellites operate in aren't as big as space itself. Why does it matter if it's hard to believe anyway, they gave a figure of 1.3%, which is pretty low anyway, and they didn't do it on the back of a napkin. |

1.3% chance of collision is _not_ low at all!
Especially when you start considering the chaotic cascading effects that a collision can result in!
