NASA claim there are thousands of satellites orbiting the earth; it should be very easy for Neil Obstat to find a picture of a group of satellites in space.

Woops! There he goes again, clogging up the thread -- that is, without bothering to read it.
.
Anyone reading this thread who has questions not addressed in the unit can just ask here and I'll perhaps be able to help.
.
Or if you go back to the OP and read those questions you'll see there is a lot more material to cover, which is yet to be presented.
.
If one reader in particular would check out this page he would see what he's been asking for but missed already.
.
I hope I haven't omitted anything or made any mistakes in typing. Let me know if you  see any.

Okay, so maybe it's not hopeless. You managed to put an "s" on satellites without losing control of the plural possessive apostrophe for a change.
.
Congratulations!

Now let's work on the number case of the verb "to claim." 
.
You have "NASA claim there are thousands..." but the term NASA is not plural, it is singular. There is only one NASA, for example.
.
Therefore, you ought to have an "s" at the end of "claim" making into "claims."
.
Your sentence should have "NASA claims there are thousands..." 

BTW I already posted a picture of several satellites in a group, but you're not paying attention I guess.

Dear Truth is Transitory, please identify the criteria that is common to all 4 places on the globe earth: Cape Canaveral, Florida; Ascension; Diego Garcia; Kwajalein:
.
1)  They all have GNSS capable receivers available for tourists to use for their own safety, as shown in the illustration.
2)  These are examples of places where electricity powers radio antennas, as shown on the map.
3)  All 4 locations are fictional and only exist in the mind of those who believe satellites are real, and "the map" is CGI.
4)  These four places have two of the 6 possible types of installation as shown on the map.
5)  I refuse to read your posts or answer your questions because you're smarter than me am ---- errr, I mean, than I am.
.
.
All 4 places are locations where a GNSS Ground Antenna and an Air Force Monitoring Station are located, two out of 6 possible. 
.
There are no other places currently on planet earth where both of those facilities are found.
.
Incidentally, the Diego Garcia location also has a AFSCN Remote Tracking Station.
.
The other three facilities are Master Control Station, Alternate Master Control Station and NGA Monitoring Station
.
Therefore, the answer is 4, but since Truth is Transitory doesn't read these posts, he'll never know that.
