| #9 USA with 2,804+ SAT's in orbit and over 4,800 total for all nations. I honestly think the odds are slim, but plausibly good, that something might get bumped as the asteriod dips 18,000 miles below geo sync obital area. Oh! |

| #8 Oh I see. NASA is busy trying to figure how many hundreds of millions to give to Boeing. |

| #7 NASA and their fake Mission Control full of Diverse and hyper-stoked about space participants is the best PR they've done since they fired that actual technician who was actually excited about that mission for his Hawaiian shirt's pattern. |

| #4 Fourth closest, other than, you know, the ones which have hit. Watch parties have been set up for a couple days now, so this is some DM floosie overhearing a cocktail conversation and reporting breathless news. |

| #2 Do the math. The volume of geosynchronous space is a stupidly big number, even if small by astronomical standards. Chance of winning the lottery is better. |

| #1 Considering, geosynchronous orbit (GSO) is 22,230+/- miles. I wonder how many Sat's will die this week as it punches through them ? Maybe Direct-TV???? |
