Satellites are about from 300 to 36000km above the Earth's surface (the ISS is 400km above). And there is about 3000 different satellites up there. To see them from the ISS, you need to be really near them (less than few kilometers depending of their dimensions), but it would be too much dangerous...

What are all the flashing lights?

[Titus Livius]

What's flying at 01:40 ?? Strange....

[Harrison Ward]

Afinati...we get that you're an atheist..now please shut the fuck up and let us enjoy the video

[Afinati]

Really, really far away from the ISS and too tiny for them to be seen, is my guess.

[Afinati]

Kind of pretentious not to explain how orbits work at the end, no?

I don't hurt my friends. If I became so emotionally compromised that I needed to rely upon an imaginary crutch, I hope I'd have the consideration to keep it to myself.
