Low earth orbit is actually not very big. And that’s what we’re talking about here.

LEO is about 2000km to 300km - at 50m shells, that’s about 34,000 times the surface of the Earth.

It is very, very, very big.

50m shells seems pretty optimistic. I thought some alarms would fire when things are within 1 km.
