A bit late to catch the show, but interesting. I don\'t know much about these sats. It\'s interesting that they have such a low profile that they can cut their friction by turning edge on.

They can look quite spectacular. Last year I looked up at the sky and saw a \"string of pearls\" which
was a line of satellites moving rapidly across the sky just after they had been launched. They
were very bright. I was able to count over 50 satellites in the string with the naked eye. Some were
too close together to resolve. The strings normally have 60 satellites.
