One million (paper) satellites
Plans for over one million satellites have been submitted to the International Telecommunications Union, a United Nations agency, in the last 6 years. Either many of these satellites will launch, and cause environmental problems on Earth and in orbit, or companies and governments are inflating their numbers, suggesting more satellites than they plan to launch.
