With "orbit of the Earth" I meant "orbit around the Earth".

Transfer orbits to the Moon are still primarily orbits around Earth. So you'll need a better definition of what you consider to be hoaxed.

What about geostationary orbits? Those are geocentric orbits of significant altitude, but relatively straightforward geometry. Nevertheless a considerable amount of expertise and energy are required to put large spacecraft there and operate them for up to 15 years under a variety of conditions. Are they hoaxed too?

Have you actually studied how space operations are done? Or are you just throwing rocks at things you don't understand?
