How does the FCC have the right to regulate who does what in space, for cripes’ sake!?? When did the government take ownership of the Universe?

The FCC has jurisdiction if they are transmitting data via radio signals to and from ground stations located in the U.S.

Again... That ship sailed a long time ago.
Our Federal government can regulate literally anything, including not growing wheat, and communication satellites...

The FCC regulates communications satellites, the FAA regulates all rocket launches in the US.

(SpaceX, for example, must obtain an FAA launch license, prior to any launch they conduct. If the Feds say “no,” there is no launch.)
