Satellites aren't the problem. We know where they are and we're smart enough to plan around them.

oh yeah I heard something about that, my cousin used to work for NASA and he said that they track all the nuts and bolts and other bits and peice flying around the Earth in the outer atmoshpere. He said like if a astronaut drops a screw driver they have to track it. I don't what agency and all that does that, maybe its NASA or maybe the NSA, something like that. He said that the space shuttle constantly comes back home to Earth with dings and scratched from these flying thingamajiggers (space derbis?) in the upper atmosphere.
