All idle speculation until Matt returns and explains exactly what he means by the Shuttle and ISS are "hoaxes".

Matt, do you deny that they actually exist? Or simply that there are humans aboard? And why exactly must either be so, in your view, especially since you do not deny the reality of other Earth satellites?

And I reiterate my offer to show you the ISS as it travels overhead, as well as the Shuttle during an STS mission. Tell me where you live, and I'll tell you exactly when and where to look.
