I'm not sure that being able to see the stars is an unreasonable thing to ask. There is probably some middle ground between allowing NIMBYs to hold society host

Besides, at some point there will be a valid reason to have a visible device in orbit. I don't want any precedent set that some small number of narcissists can repeat e.g. the opposition to offshore wind power we've seen on Martha's Vineyard.
