Since the start of the space age, more than 8,800 objects have been launched into orbit, according to estimates from the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. But in a few years, that number could increase significantly. Private companies plan to launch thousands of satellites to beam internet to customers on Earth. SpaceX alone has announced plans to launch 42,000 satellites. If this happens, SpaceX will be responsible for about a fivefold increase in the number of spacecraft launched by all of humanity.
Delivery of service to customers (satellite internet and data transmission) is 20 times faster from satellites in low Earth orbit, than those in geostationary orbit.

Why do flat-eathers have such a hard time believing the International Space Station (ISS) is real when they can literally buy a telescope and see fo themselves?

That's why there are thousands of flat-earth videos on YouTube where they:
- Claim video of activities aboard the ISS are faked in high altitude aircraft doing a parabolic maneuver
- Make fun of "astro-NOTS"
- Insult NASA as liars
- Claim all videos of the Earth from space are Hollywood style CGI fakes
- Assert that the ISSTracker ~ Real-Time Location Tracking of the International Space Station software is actually tracking a high altitude drone
Does this look like a drone?

From the Wikipedia page about him: Ralf Vandebergh - Wikipedia
"The image shows not only the ISS with very special lighting angle but also it shows activity around the ISS which is often the case. You see the Japanese Cargo Ship HTV-1 in its demonstration flight shortly before docking and just a few hundred meters below the ISS."
Ralf Vandebergh (born 1976) is a Dutch astronomer, professional photographer and veteran satellite spotter from Nijswiller (nl). He is known for photographing the Sun, Moon, planets, satellites, NASA Space Shuttles, and the International Space Station from Earth using a telescope-mounted camera. His work is widely published in the media.
