What are the odds?



Much higher than a few decades back, but still effectively zero. Even after putting up X thousands of satellites up into orbit, they still physically cover a tiny total surface area. And the same goes for planes. So two of these colliding would be a monumental freak accident, which is why I'm still assuming it's not space debris until more information shows up.


Given that it happened, 100%?


50-50, either it happens, or it doesn't


A million to one, they said.


But it has to be _exactly_ a million to one


That's if it was coming from Mars specifically.


But still they come.
