And this is all the junk technology, leftover rocket bodies, things like that up in space. It's slowly orbiting overhead. They have, you can do a Google search for this, they do have some maps that depict what this looks like. And it's like this is a big haze because they're really just slowly rotating around our planet. And 31,261 objects were tracked globally today. And these are of a specific size. These are larger objects. There's many, many more out there. So this is just a very, very small sampling. And over my location here, much later today, it's around 1,960 and we're going overhead. So lots of them up there, more going up all the time. And if any of you are actually checking those numbers from week to week when I'm mentioning the objects tracked globally, these larger ones, you'll see that most weeks there's an increment in the amount that's going on. Maybe not a huge increment, but if there is an increment then it is increasing.
