As a fellow Christian and Bible believer -- as well as a retired physical scientist, I had hoped that you have sufficient intellect and education -- as well as sense of proportion and perspective -- to allow a rational conversation. Obviously, that is not the case.
Your inability to distinguish between "focusing on" a huge object like the moon -- versus a tiny object like a satellite -- is a nearly-insurmountable barrier to rational communication -- in this case, between fellow believers.
The ISS is ~295 feet long -- compared to a Boeing 747-8I's wingspan of ~245 feet. Can you see a 747 at its 35,000 foot cruising altitude? Not without binoculars.
35,000 feet is a mere 6.63 miles -- yet the ISS orbits at an altitude (distance) of 186 miles. Can you see a 747 at 186 miles away? No. Neither can you see the ISS at that distance (without a telescope) Yet, you can see the Moon at well over a thousand times that distance -- 238,000 miles (on average) -- with your God-created, unaided eyeball.
You asked, "Can you also provide us with an actual photo of a satellite or the ISS from earth?"
The answer is here: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090116.html. And,here's the image:
And here is the description of the image -- and how it was taken -- by a citizen, using a "small telescope":
Explanation: Remarkable details are visible in this view of the orbiting International Space Station (ISS), recorded with a small telescope on planet Earth through a clear twilight sky. Seen on December 27th at about 75 degrees elevation and some 350 kilometers above the planet's surface, parts of the station, including the Kibo and Columbus science modules, even seem to reflect the Earth's lovely bluish colors. The image also shows off large power generating solar arrays on the station's 90 meter long integrated truss structure Just put your cursor over the picture to identify some of the major parts of the ISS.
Of course, you will have to click on the above link to get the "mouseover details" -- if you have the intellectual honesty to prove yourself abysmally, ignorantly wrong...
And, your description of satellites and "space junk" a floating reveals total ignorance of the orbital mechanics that keep satellites in orbit.

Frankly, as a Christian, I am appalled at having my witness degraded and diluted by having "Christians" like you parading ignorance and false distortions of physical facts -- and claiming to do so in the name of Christianity.
FRiend, You should think and pray long and hard about the damage you are doing to the Name of the One you so ignorantly and self-centeredly misrepresent!
What have my honest questions about NASA/the universe have anything to do with your personal Christian testimony?
May the Lord rebuke you -- for making false accusations over my questions about a government agency partially founded by Nazis, while claiming allegiance to Islam and supporting fake Climate Change for the NWO elites.

NASA Gives Us Their Hoaxed Evidence For Climate Change:

Please explain why we cannot see some of the ten to 170 million pieces of "space junk pollution" we've been told about for decades? LOL.
And seeing the moon with the naked eye is not the same as racking focus with a cheap Nikon on its topical features with distinct shadow lines and craters, etc.
If you can rack focus on an object 2000 miles in diameter from 250,000 miles away with a Nikon Coolpix, you can rack focus on an object 180 miles away or 8 miles away with that same camera...
Please educate yourself on focal plane, focal distance, depth of field and what it means to "focus" inside a camera or scope and how this relates directly to distance from the lens. I'm old enough to have shot film were my DP had to use a measuring tape.
Those shots of ISS are ridiculous in lack of detail.
Reminds me of the "tea biscuit" ISS shots:
Here is a better lens on the moon.

We can get these shots of the moon but all you can give me is that distorted shot of ISS? Please.
As a Christian with a science background, please explain the problems and anomalies in the ISS vids here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJhL7y0ahUE
Then please provide us with actual photographs of the earth from outer space, or give a good answer as to why they do not exist. And then explain why you believe NASA on anything when they supports the Paris Climate Change accord?
NASA: HISTORIC PARIS AGREEMENT
https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2373/historic-climate-agreement-adopted-at-cop21-summit-in-paris/
1. NASA has stated it has "destroyed the technology" necessary to get to the moon.
2. NASA has stated that they can no longer breach the Van Allen Belt.
3. NASA has stated that "humans" have somehow created an invisible force field in space that encapsulates the earth.
4. NASA graphic designers have stated there are no actual photographs of the earth taken from outer space, they are all photoshopped composites and CGI.
5. NASA has stated that the moon shot footage has been destroyed.
6. NASA has stated that they destroyed the Shuttles.
7. NASA has stated that Islam is somehow an important part of its program.
8. NASA's blue marble earth hoax photos have different continent sizes and shapes. (!)
9. NASA supports climate change with hoaxed science and the Paris Climate Accord. Yet people believe anything else they have to say? LOL
10. NASA's 2015 and 2012 blue marbles have the word "sex" written in their clouds.
What you wrote is freaky... you don't know me and I don't know you or your personal testimony of how you daily "deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Him."
You have a Christian duty to be an apologist for the Lord and His handiwork, not making false accusations against fellow believers because I'm asking questions about the veracity of a government agency that hoaxes climate change as standard policy.
