** Some elaboration. At the climax of the movie, Nada is powerless. Apart from sheer numbers (who knows how many of aliens there are off-world?), the aliens have more advanced technology, most of the humans are already hypnotized, and most of the resistance (that we see) have been shot down; even if he did destroy the satellite, the aliens would probably just rebuild it again, that is, after they kill him, so in the end — as Holly tells Nada — shooting the satellite essentially won't do jack shit. (Even if the humans remember what they saw, they may still be re-hypnotized and unable to spot further aliens.) So what does Nada do? As multiple helicopters circle him, he pulls another gun out, shoots Holly, and finally aims the gun at the satellite with his last words: "Fuck it."
