Why does space stations have no moons?

Space stations are too small and do not have gravitational pull to draw in something that large to orbit it.

What does the exosphere do for earth?

Nothing. It has been recorded that gases are kept in a layer before trailing off into space, and this area was dubbed the exosphere. Some satellites orbit here.

Is a space shuttle flown in the exosphere?

Since the exosphere has no specific end, and it is almost into orbit, then yes. When a space shuttle reaches orbital velocity, it is going to fly past the exosphere. A space shuttle has never attained escape velocity that I know of. It is certainly capable, though. Also, a space shuttle can be flown in the exosphere without ever reaching orbit in some conditions. (i.e. if they launch at JFK in Florida and land at Edwards Air Base in California, because the earth moves counterclockwise. They could only be up there for a very short time, however.)
