My post was about direct to home satellite TV, which exclusively uses geostationary orbit satellites which have to be 22 thousand up.
4000 is still vastly out of our atmosphere.
That most of people who think the moon landings are fake and have doubts about the ability to get stuff in to space are willing to pay Murdoch to get TV beamed in to their houses via (1960s technology) satellite says quite a lot, in my opinion.
