Comment on Astronomers seek global ban on space advertising

An older story, I know, but today was the first I heard of space-based advertising, and it made my blood boil a little. To be clear, the infuriating part is people trying to put ads in the sky, not the astronomers fighting back, who are in fact awesome.

I don’t think it goes far enough. Satellites should not be allowed to arrange or emit for any aesthetics reason, advertising or not. They should be required to do everything they can to go unseen.

And the near-side of the moon should be preserved with bans on commercial activity and construction projects.
Or maybe just any that can be seen from earth, even with a telescope. If you can dig a tunnel and build an underground complex without the ports and vents being visible, then I guess that can be allowed. But that should be a negotiating chip, not a part of the first proposal.
