But if I'm to speculate how they get into orbit, my current theory is through a tubular system, like old school document delivery passing to different departments of a large bank.

Simple explanation:
Satellites act like the stars in constellations—we know where they are supposed to be at any given time.
The ground stations use radar to make sure they are actually where we think they are.
A receiver, like you might find in your phone , is constantly listening for a signal from these satellites. The receiver figures out how far away they are from some of them.
Once the receiver calculates its distance from four or more satellites, it knows exactly where you are. From miles up in space your location on the ground can be determined with incredible precision! They can usually determine where you are within a few yards of your actual location.
Not really the point of my post though.

Where do all the satellites go? How do you explain GPS?
I believe the above picture is absolutely proof that there is a double barrier glass ceiling all around Earth. It is an optical illusion of 2 Suns in the sky.
The trick to capturing this double Sun image is to point the camera indirectly at the Sun. In the above image, I pointed the camera at the Sun and then tilted it downward.

At Florida when I was a kid I saw a launch. What's your point? My eyes can't see far enough to tell me that rocket made it into orbit. Doubt it went any higher than 30 miles up before it started it descent back down to Earth. It was just a huge fireworks show.

No 2nd sun theory for me please. This is the sun's reflection in glass, and the sun.

You do realize the space station and satellites can be seen clearly with the most basic of telescopes. How do you think those objects got up there?

The barrier is able to expand made of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing which allows air to be filtered by a turbo encabulator.

Do you have any proof meteors hitting Earth came from outer space? How do you know those meteors weren't fired from an altitude lower than outer space?
I will define outer space as being higher than approx 60 to 90 miles high... Heaven, being the double pane glass ceiling in the altitudes of 60 to 90 miles all around Earth.

Satellite technology is a bit above my pay grade.
