I agree with you about unmarked vehicles analogy, I thought the same as you.

I thought improving the satellites 'transparency' was so that scientists could more easily see what's happening beyond them. But, yeh, the video could certainly be clearer.

With what you say about satellite launches growing exponentially in the future, we need to be better informed so we can demand from our governments duty of care (am I being naive? probably). Do you know if there is any citizen organisation that looks into this? Please let us know if you do.
