You're aware of satellites, right?

  You are aware they are way above national airspace that matters, right?

    High-altitude balloons are above the airspace that matters -- the service ceiling of the country's surface-to-air missiles. Seriously though, there's no recognized boundary for sovereign airspace: http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA436627 http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA436627

    Satellites can listen to radio signals and take photographs. As for the third complaint, about airspace, I suppose you're right: a few exotic aircraft do fly up 20 km or above, so these could interfere slightly with aviation. So, presumably, they'll have to get a license to fly above the countries they fly above. Ho, hum.
