You've set two different criteria ... the Earth's closest satellite is not the

oldest one. So you've asked two questions, and they have different answers:

1). The identity of the Earth's closest satellite changes frequently,

because the close ones don't last long.

2). The Earth's oldest satellite is the Moon.
