Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Now,

1. why exactly can satellites exist in low to geosynchronous orbit, but not in lunar orbit, or any of the other orbits mentioned?

2. And how do you account for the fact that such spacecraft are tracked by ground stations around the world?

3. And why exactly must the Shuttle and ISS (and presumably Soyuz) be hoaxes?

4. And how do you account for the fact that you can take their orbital elements and predict exactly when and where they will appear and how they will move across the sky - exactly as is done with other Earth satellites? ISS and Shuttle are easy naked-eye objects, and the orbital mechanics that predicts their appearance and motion to any observer on Earth is absolutely identical to that which does the same for other satellites (e.g., Iridium satellites and their famous "flares").
