What does your Technology Correspondent, Robert Uhlig, mean when he writes: "The station will eventually be the brightest object in the night sky and the only artificial heavenly body visible to the naked eye" (Crew blasts off for new space station venture, 1 November 2000)?

Nearly every time I look up at the night sky I see this or that satellite passing overhead. Am I not seeing artificial heavenly bodies with my naked eye?

P.S. Thanks for publishing so many, if far from all of my letters, and for your improvements to my style and grammar. And notwithstanding your drastic, but understandable, editing of my most recent letter. 

I must get on your nerves with my persistent warnings about the threat posed by modern lifestyles (particularly motorcars and air travel) to our planet,  but I cannot help hoping that eventually you will take them seriously and start helping to prepare public opinion for the drastic changes in values, attitudes and priorities that are necessary if our children are to have a future aboard Spaceship Earth.
