"No matter where you are in the world or what's happening in your life, everyone will be able to see the Humanity Star in the night sky," said Peter Beck, Rocket Lab founder and CEO, in a statement. "Our hope is that all those looking up at it will look past it to the vast expanse of the universe and think a little differently about their lives, actions and what is important for humanity."

So it’s just a new form of pollution? Like light pollution or noise pollution, this will be sky pollution. Class action them...

Just what we need—some manmade object cluttering up the sky.
Here in Maryland, the light pollution is so bad that only a few of the brightest stars and planets are visible. But when I went to Mongolia over a year ago, the night sky was completely free of any light pollution. The stars shone gloriously; the Milky Way was visible in a way that I do not remember seeing since I was a child (and even then, it may not have been as clear). I am glad that there was not a manmade object up there to mar the beautiful view.

Since we cannot see the Milky Way galaxy anymore unless we get to a very remote place, I would agree, that we should put some more artificial light in the sky. /sarc

Humanity star? That’s what they want you to think.
It’s actually a death star.
