It’s amazing how one company gets approval from one country and will have 1000s of objects across the planet. Shouldn’t we have an international body of some sort at this point?

I think the idea would be to create a treaty framework and have candidate nations vote internally on whether to join. There's a clear benefit to coordinating space activity (imo), but I don't think the current US admin sees international cooperation as a net good. Even historically, the US tends not to be very democratic about foreign policy choices.
