I know it’s difficult but don’t think on earth scales. We can see with our eyes and telescopes just how much space there is between things up there. It really is that easy to not bump into things
Just imagine there are probably millions of civilizations out there that also reached this achievement and have or are sending out satellites and we're all just missing each other because space is that damn vast.
This is why I know almost for a fact that other life exists. The universe is so damn huge, and we’re here, so it only makes sense. I wonder how long it’ll be until intelligent life in the distant future finds our dingy old satellites and telescopes when we’re long long gone. I wonder what they’ll think of it, or if they’ll ever even find any of it.
imagine some other intelligent life's satellite did reach our solar system in the past and just went undetected, or obliterated by Jupiter, or even made it to earth just to burn up in our atmosphere.

So it only has ~70,000 years to go!
