Ok - 200 meters in space is a VERY close call! On Dec 9 a just launched Chinese satellite came within 200 meters of slamming into an orbiting SpaceX satellite at 560 km altitude.

Why/How? Currently, there is no effective mechanism too coordinate or deal with "deconfliction" with existing satellites operating in space. Aka there is no coordination between satellite operators to address the risk of collisions.
