For once, the "shockingly close" pass was actually shockingly close
For real. Usually these headlines are followed with "within 40km of each other"
With incidents like this (when they can move them) does NASA contact ROSCOSMOS to request they both do minor orbital corrections? I'm sure neither agency wants a collision to happen.
