This is awful, who thought that writing sattelites and numbers upside down makes sense?

It's also overly simplistic about the types of orbits, so it has no excuse for bad visualization.

It also makes it look like we are covered with satellites. Imagine if there was 8100 cars spread all over the planet, and that’s it. Each car would be incredibly far apart. This distance is even greater on a bigger sphere above the surface of the earth.

It's also wildly not to scale. LEO is a few hundred kilometers in altitude, while GEO is 36,000 kilometers in altitude.

I fixed it: (sort of)

It's still wildly not to scale though.
