[FT OT] Satelittes, hundreds of them

I just came across an interesting link that I thought may be of interest to
some of the list...

It's a web based java app that shows the orbits of all the current satellites
around earth. You can select various ones, see their orbits, move the
viewpoint.... you get a good idea of how crowded it is out there already;)

What a really COOL java applet! Thanks for the link! It really helps to
visualize orbits when you can see them like that.
