No government decided to build it? Like what kind of question is this?


On what right can a US. private entity spam the sky? Was it approved by people living in Europe or China or whatever?

This is my question regarding the morality of that.


By the Outer Space Treaty.

> outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States;

Any state can use space as they like.

Also:

> States shall be responsible for national space activities whether carried out by governmental or non-governmental entities;

The US government says it's okay so it's okay.


because... MURICA fuck yeah!!
