Wasn't there a potential collision between 2 satellites recently that was in the news? I'm guessing it was a swing & a miss?

Does this include spy satellites? Aren't there more, that we don't know about?
Makes me think about flies buzzing around an animal, thinking about all those satellites up there.

Yea I got tired of the crowds myself, so I came back to the surface to avoid all the battles in orbit keeping me up at night.
If SpaceX and other private firms keep it up, eventually getting to space and deploying a habitat to work out, would be a reality as cost to get there drop.

What is the value of precious metals and other materials in these derelict satellites. I would think for someone it could become a pretty good business or at the very least a potential cost savings for NASA as they could use "experimental" flights to also grab the junk.
