Calling All Amateur Astronomers! How far away are stars? How do we determine this distance? What makes it reliable?

Geostationary orbits are easy they are very close. We are talking about distant galactic objects. One idea in particular that puzzles me is the assumption that we know exactly how light travels and behaves. How can we be so sure? All your calculations are based on the theory of how objects in space behave. Basically assumption and speculation, in other words you are guessing. Still they are intelligent and well thought out but just guesses.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1417231I was responding to the neville jones crap. Thats not about distant galactic objects, it's about the configuration of the solar system and geostationary orbits are directly applicable.
