I've been to Cape Canaveral before and watched a space shuttle leave the launchpad with my own eyes. Where do these rockets go once they leave the launchpad? Do they reach the firmament, hang out there for a while, then come back down? I'm wondering to what extent the FES believes space travel happens, and where it draws the line when it comes to the truth of NASA's accomplishments. For example, are satellites placed into orbit by NASA, or are they a hoax as well?
