Not trying to be a "troll". I asked a legitimate question and good, honest and well-meaning but sadly highly indoctrinated from decades of NASA, school text books, peers, repetitive television watching has tricked most of said well-meaning people into believing several lies and there is literally nothing I can say or write to fix this. Folks wake up and some do not...a choice.
OK -- it's a quiet day. Why not bite.
This is you not trying to be a "troll"?
It's curious the level of proof you would accept is a photo you deem not to be CGI found via Google. It's a trap, because Google images are displayed where-- on your digital computer! And that you suggest NASA is lying to us, when so many satellites are constructed by private industry around the world. I think a small group of conspiracy "researchers" are the ones who have been indoctrinated to think "they are lying to you", and given scripted answers for all the standard responses. It's also awkward to think that satellites are something that you can chose to "believe" or not.
I can't speak for so many people, but from personal experience, I can explain why I "believe in satellites".
I have worked the last 37 years in the satellite industry, first supporting a satellite the USA sent to map Venus, and then supporting the launch and operations of around 80 more communications satellites. In that time, I have seen many satellites under construction, I have seen them put into rocket capsules, and watched rocket launches from South America, from the USA, and even from Kazhakstan. I have never visited NASA or any government agency, with the sole exception when I worked with JPL, but I have visited the European Space Agency, and many private satellite construction companies in the USA and in France, and satellite operators in Japan, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg, and worked with other satellite operators from Australia, Japan, Indonesia, and the UK.
But sure, you may ask, how can I be sure what I saw being built on the ground and put in a rocket capsule, on top of a rocket that I personally saw being launched, is really proof of a satellite orbiting in space? Well I have developed systems which measure the orbits of satellites, working with a team to develop equipment and constructing antennas that send a signal up into space, and receive the signal back a fraction of a second later, working out all the calculations to determine it's distance and position. There are several different technologies for doing so, and they all work according to global coordinates pointing at satellites orbiting some 22,000 miles high at the equator.
What do we use satellites for? One purpose is to watch TV. 100s of millions of homeowners can go to the store and buy a satellite receiver and antenna, and then point it at the sky. Even flat earthers can buy a receiver and an antenna, and see for themselves. I'm sure many satellite dish homeowners would have a hard time believing satellites are not real, given the thousands of TV programs that they can receive from an antenna pointed at the sky. I have helped friends install such a satellite antenna, and can assure you that the antennas are pointed upwards at the sky, at pretty much the same angle, which is straightforward to calculate, using global coordinates and pointing to a satellite orbiting the earth. This would not be possible with some land antennas, unless they were 22,000 miles high, at the equator.
What would such a hoax cost? Well I worked for a satellite constructor which employed about 9,000 people, and this is one of many dozens if not hundreds of satellite construction companies, and I have worked for satellite operators, of which there must be thousands, and I have worked with many companies developing systems for satellites. The cost of procuring a single satellite, and launch costs private operators a couple hundred million dollars. What is the gain for such a hoax?
And what do you got? You have doubts that Google images are not CGI, and you think "NASA is lying". Why exactly? Because you have been indoctrinated by youtube "researchers"?

This all happened in your imagination. It's not real.

I'll believe they're up there until you can prove they aren't. The burden of proof is on you.
No cookies or 6-pack for you, respectfully. Not talking about the moon or stars. I'm talking about the thousands of satellites we are told are above us and yet magically never hit one another and google and NASA can't seem to provide one legitimate picture of.
You should have made that clear in your initial post. An anonymous internet poster is only as good as his word - pay the man or live forever in shame.
The power of indoctrination and media on the human mind. The space shuttle was no more than an airPLANE. NO ONE has been past the Firmament above us. Research Operation Fishbowl. Folks in high places already tried to break through and couldn't. Keep buying what NASA is feeding you. You get no goodies but I commend you for a solid and valiant effort.
Once you prove there are thousands of man-made physical satellites above us then you get the goodies, until then, you get none. I do commend your effort and will provide you with 3 gold stars but no treats. Not one picture of a REAL satellite (I'm not talking the stars or moon!) via google images. Not one real picture of Earth either. Earth is 100% FLAT. Sadly, most globe believers think "flat earthers" are crazy. Once you learn that it IS flat THEN you can finally start to wake up to the massive "globe" lies you have been told.
