Interesting to know how many satellites are up there, and where they come from. As much as we hear about the Chinese catching up in the space race, right now the numbers are pretty lopsided.
It will continue to change, though. I remember talking with a satellite tracker 25 years ago, and asking him how to know where the satellites come from. His answer? There's only 2 guys up there.
"The United States has 413 satellites in space snooping for the government, checking on the weather and relaying the latest pop music, a new database says. That's more than the 382 the rest of the world has spinning above the Earth."
