When NASA and others launch the space shuttle and rockets into orbit, how do they avoid hitting all those cluttered satellites orbiting around the earth? Wouldn't they risk crashing into one on the way up?

"Twenty-four astronauts have been on or near the Moon. Twelve of these
landed on the moon and actually walked on its surface. All are men
from the United States of America who traveled to the Moon as part of
NASA's Apollo program during the period from December 1968 to December
1972...

The following twelve people have walked on the Moon, each on one
mission only. Nobody has walked on the moon since 1972.

1. Neil Armstrong - Apollo 11 - July, 1969
2. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin - Apollo 11 - July, 1969
3. Charles "Pete" Conrad - Apollo 12 - November, 1969
4. Alan Bean - Apollo 12 - November, 1969
5. Alan Shepard - Apollo 14 - February, 1971
6. Edgar Mitchell - Apollo 14 - February, 1971
7. David Scott - Apollo 15 - July, 1971
8. James Irwin - Apollo 15 - July, 1971
9. John Young - Apollo 16 - April, 1972
why with all our technology has noone walked on the moon since 1972?

What I mean is in our observation of light travelling from distant stars or galaxies, can the journey of that light be delayed by gravitational objects or events and therefore the speed not match the constant we expect it to have?

Can a space shuttle change course when it is in outer space? How could it when there is no oxygen for an engine to generate fire for thrust, and no air or water pressure to push off of? Do not include explanations for changing directions after the space shuttle has landed. I am asking if you could change directions while still in transit.
