This makes me sick to the gut. Every creature and person shares this space and as Illogical or logical this may sound, I don't my "share" of the sky and universe to be polluted. I refuse to allow a company to bombard me with radio frequencies most of which is probably going to be used for nonsensical you/tube/porn, movies etc. I don't want anyone to pollute/do anything to my share of the planet/universe without me having a say in it.

You should hear how many radio waves exploding stars are sending…

    Little prods of science education can go a long way! I think it’s cool that white noise is just the universe chilling.

Space is like, really really big. And these satellites are extremely small, cubesats don’t take up much room in the sky.

  Near-earth space is not that big, especially when it contains 50,000 objects whizzing around at 25,000 km/hour. Starlink had to make 25,000 collision avoidance maneuvers in just 6 months [0] -- and that's just Starlink. If you're a satellite operator, collision avoidance is a full-time job. And the likelihood of collisions increases exponentially with the number of satellites.

    I made thousands of collision avoidance maneuvers on a single trip to the store yesterday.

You aren't sensitive to radio waves.

And the rest of the world should act in accordance to your totally irrational feelings? > my share of the planet/universe without me having a say in it You have a say in it. If you are in the US its regulated. And in space it regulated by a treaty between the US and everybody else. This is no different any other regulation that happen in a democracy.
