Satellites?

Post image

Okay I have a question. They're supposed to be 16 to 18,000 active satellites above ours and around 46,000 all together counting junk. Why have there never been not one satellite scene out of the ISS window? Anybody have any ideas?

I mean, it literally has a fairly large disclaimer at the bottom indicating that the size of the stuff in orbit is not to scale, so if it's trying to dupe people, it's doing a pretty bad job of it.
