@sundogplanets wouldn't "ever been launched" include satellites that have since been deorbited?
@Hairyloon @sundogplanets seems like you're probably right, "Of the 11,370 satellites that have been placed in orbit 60% are still in orbit and only 35% are still operational." https://www.nasa.gov/smallsat-institute/sst-soa/deorbit-systems#13.1
