If you think about the "surface" of space being SO much larger than the surface of the earth, there's comparatively very little floating in orbit right now, even including Starlink.
- lxgr 6mo agoIf you’re considering beam widths on top of physical space alone it gets a bit trickier (at least for radio as opposed to light/lasers), but yes, there is a lot of space in LEO.
