SpaceX now has over 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, which is honestly an absurd engineering achievement. And no, they are not just up there freelancing and hoping for the best. They stay separated because they are placed in organized orbital lanes, constantly tracked, and able to maneuver when needed. Starlink also uses automated collision-avoidance systems, which is how a constellation this large can operate without turning low Earth orbit into a scrapyard. It’s already the closest thing in the world to a true work-anywhere network and they are just getting started.

Google Loons were trackable on Flight Radar until they supposedly shelved that project
