#4 Hey, my sister named a star after me. It's recorded in a book registered with the US Copyright Office and everything. I reserve the right to put up any damned sign on it as I see fit. So there.

#5 For instance, outsized billboards deployed by a space company into low Earth orbit could appear as large as the moon and be seen without a telescope, the FAA said.

Given that the shuttle is a pretty big object, and that it looks rather small when passing overhead while in orbit, an "outsized" billboard would have to be pretty damned big to be able to read, and consequently, excessively expensive to put up.
