The problem with that idea is that there are a lot of things that folks can check if they want to. We've already seen some of the examples here: Pictures of the ISS in orbit. Pictures of other spacecraft. You can go to a shuttle launch. You can listen to the double sonic boom and watch it land. You can track satellites in orbit and watch them fly overhead (that includes the shuttle and ISS). You can build a radio receiver, as some did, who picked up signals from Apollo and some space probes. You can compare the motions of planets and asteroids to non-geocentric calculations. And so on.
Of course, if you don't bother to test anything . . . well, too bad.
I'm still waiting to hear why Geocentrism doesn't allow for a shuttle or a space station, or why (even with Geocentrism) nobody could land on the moon.
