List of Starlink and Starshield Launches - Wikipedia
~10,000 Satellites currently orbiting right now, and that's just Starlink.
Check out the list of launches under "Falcon 9 Launches > Starlink Launches." It's every other day now (sometimes consecutive days) that they launch another rocket, and each payload is carrying 20 to 60 satellites.

However high they can shoot

Who needs to track asteroids when everyone can have NzI-Link internet?
