Halting the Assault by 80,000+ Satellites

EPIC STORY: Humankind stands at a precipice from which there will be no return: A Great 21st Century space rush is now underway by commercial enterprises and the military, fomented and enabled in the U.S. by the FCC and other U.S. government agencies, to grab, deploy, transform, and own the Heavens for private gain, defense, and weaponization. Over the next 10 years 80,000+ non-stationary low orbit satellites will be launched and seamlessly integrated in terrestrial 4G/5G/6G+ industrial and military networks (“Space Fence”). Scores of new satellites are being launched every week from the U.S. and other countries.

Since the beginnings of our time on earth we humans, and perhaps other species, have revered the skies. The Heavens are the spiritual wellspring of many cultures. This accelerating human-caused catastrophe will substantially compound the existing biological and environmental harms of 4G/5G/6G non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, enable remote manipulation of biological systems, further erode personal privacy, expand government surveillance, present increasing risks of satellite collisions, interfere with meteorological prediction and astronomical research, litter the skies with satellite debris, and endanger national and global security.

The Heavens must belong to no one. Quite the opposite, numerous international treaties, conventions, and other legally enforceable commitments affirm they are held in Public Trust for all of humanity and the living world. Nations and people everywhere are the fiduciaries of this Public Trust. They possess the legal means and the power to ensure that the exploration of this new frontier, the Heavens, if it must proceed, is approached with humility and wisdom.

Restoring Balance to the Satellite Program

Mission: To require the FCC and other federal agencies to follow established principles and procedures that are well-recognized by international treaty, the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, state laws and local ordinances — now even more relevant and critical during a national COVID-19 pandemic —  to carefully assess all risks, costs, and viable alternatives before permitting the implementation of a blanket license of 7 million earth stations and accelerating the launch of 50,000-100,000 satellites.

Safeguard National Security — To compel a careful re-examination of the national security risks of over-reliance on a 5G/wireless infrastructure when a viable, safer, more secure, energy efficient, job generating, and vastly less expensive alternative – optical fiber wired infrastructure — is readily available and has already been paid for by taxpayers and ratepayers.
