No Kidding..  I just read THIS in the news:

 "China RAGES at Elon Musk after space station near miss with
 Starlink satellite

 "China complained to UN in a diplomatic note, its space
 station had to take evasive action to avoid collision with
 satellites launched by the billionaire's Starlink program.
 (SCMP)

 "Satellites from Starlink Internet Services, had two "close
 encounters" with the Chinese space station, according to a
 document submitted to the UN Space Agency.

 "For safety reasons, the China Space Station implemented
 preventive collision avoidance control," China said in the
 document.

This is only going to get worse as things get crowded up there.
