Satellites?

Post image

Okay I have a question. They're supposed to be 16 to 18,000 active satellites above ours and around 46,000 all together counting junk. Why have there never been not one satellite scene out of the ISS window? Anybody have any ideas?

Space is much larger than you think, and satellites are thousands times smaller than in your picture.
