Watched a brilliant series from FOX called Cosmos A Space Time Odyssey - very informative. Definitely recommended viewing!

Tbh I didn't even know there were that many satellites in space. I think satellites is something we all take for granted and don't actually really realise of what great significance this actually is.

If you take all the space between atoms and there ingredients, "we" hardly exist at all. In fact you could fit the entire human race in the volume of a sugar cube
