Yes, that is often possible. Preferably go to an area without streetlights and watch the sky. You will soon see fast moving shiny objects. These are satellites.
Yes, it is possible to see the Sputnik satellite from Massachusetts. Sputnik was the first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 and could be seen in the night sky as a bright moving object.
Artificial satellites can be seen with the naked eye when they reflect sunlight. The best time to see them is typically during dusk or dawn when the sun is below the horizon but the satellite is still illuminated. Satellites appear as moving points of light against the night sky.
Yes, some are visible. The Space Station is one of them.
Yes, Sputnik 2 was visible from Earth. Launched on November 3, 1957, it was the second artificial satellite and had a large size, making it possible to see it with the naked eye under the right conditions. Observers could spot it as it orbited the Earth, especially during dawn or dusk when the satellite reflected sunlight.
From Earth, a satellite would look like a speck of light moving slowly across the sky. Different satellites orbit different distances from the Earth, so the size of the speck varies. In some artificial bodies, such as the International Space Station, it is sometimes possible to make out a few features.Check the related link (Heavens-Above) for a site what will give you the times various satellites will pass over your area at night.

Yes you can, they are usually more yellow than of starts

It really depends on what you mean by a satellite. There are approximately 2465 artificial satellites orbitting earth. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite for more information.

Possibly.
No. You can hunt at night but you can not use artificial light or night vision.
It is possible to see hundreds of shooting stars in a single night, during a meteor shower.
A person in an artificial satellite around Earth would experience weightlessness due to the constant freefall towards Earth. They would also see the Earth rotating beneath them, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. Additionally, they would be shielded from Earth's atmosphere and be able to see the curvature of the planet.

Drastic weather conditions and also light pollution. Extreme exposure to artificial light will slow down your dark adaptation which is getting used to the night sky after staying in a room with artificial light.
Well it depends if the moon is out. If it is out you can see the moons reflection in the lake. If it is a moonless night you can not see it unless you have a light source.
