and possibly more by now.
So Ycombinator's hacker news system would prevent the repeteated submissions, or even would make it in the same parent node... or any kind of similar solution!!
I don't know... but maybe in the future, NASA should make an automated method that would prevent such problems/craches...
I don't know so much about how should it work, but if they can find a way that would calculate the space between each satellite, and if the space is so close, then a program should run... that program would automatically change the path of the satellite to prevent the crach.
Does it make any sense?
