how the fuck can satellites collide with each other?
>nearly 6,500 satellites orbiting the Earth as of January 1, 2021

imagine that the Earth is a large, smooth and slippery ball. now the satellites are iceskaters on this ball. every skater has a more or less certain course. isn't the probability of them colliding super super small?

i mean its a bad example since the actual case is even less probable(the distance of the satellites from the earth varies between 180km to 2000km)
