Space invaders: celestial billboards spark debate about who owns the sky | Reuters

Space invaders: celestial billboards spark debate about who owns the sky | Reuters: LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation)
Some day soon, stargazers searching for answers in the night sky might see the logo of a soft drink company blazing past the Milky Way, or a promotional message from a fast food restaurant.
+ Opinion: I don't like the touchy-feely, "anything goes" tone of this article. IMO, these billboards must be stopped. The night sky is a place where we can transcend all the ephemera and static of life on Earth. Nip this idea at the bud before a noxious weed consumes the heavens. Resistance is NOT futile.
