Knowing that the way an object orbits the planet is essentially infinitely falling toward it, but missing, I thought this was incredible: "At an altitude of 35,786 km, satellites orbit at the same speed the earth turns, once every 24 hours, hanging usefully and lucratively over a single location to transmit and receive information." I knew the earth spins fast, but putting those two facts together was really cool. Sitting here, I'm thinking how did I miss this before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit
