Well I think there are ways to handle it other than disabling it totally. For one thing, allowing us to cancel the "Investigate light" action and changing the moodlet afterwards to happy rather than dazed/uncomfortable would be a great start.
EDIT And as others have said, make the satellite dish available to all in Build/Buy and usable by all.
EDIT2 And alien abductions are an issue because most other significant actions including woohoo require player consent in some form but the "investigate strange light" interaction cannot be cancelled.
