Does it operate 10k satellites? or is this just a launch tally and many of those have now been decommissioned

"Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit are de-orbiting and falling to Earth at the rate of one to two per day."

cool, more airplane space junk collisions in our future. thanks.

The airplane collision is most likely a weather balloon from windborne systems
