These are hoaxes? What are the objects I've seen in the sky from my own yard, that many amateurs have imaged from their own telescopes that look like the ISS and shuttle in orbit? What is the thing that is launched regularly, lands regularly, seen by millions?

What is your evidence that these are hoaxes?

---- These are hoaxes, as defined by the Luna 1 line:
6. Spacecraft in lunar orbit (e.g., Selene, just launched by the Japanese).
7. Spacecraft in Sun-observing orbits (e.g., SOHO, Ulysses).
8. Spacecraft orbiting Mars/Jupiter/Saturn (e.g., Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter).
9. Spacecraft on interstellar trajectories (Pioneer 10/11, Voyager 1/2).
What is your evidence that these are hoaxes?
