> I wouldn't want people to mess with something floating on top of my house. I understand the sentiment but it sounds like you may have a misunderstanding of how orbits work here. Even if a geosync satellite were positioned exactly above your house, nothing could ever make it "fall down" onto you. Anything that brought it closer to Earth would make it not a geosync satellite anymore, and I strongly doubt any geosync satellites have enough fuel left to de-orbit entirely (geosync is far away!) For low-orbit satellites, sure, they can (and are designed to, eventually) de-orbit, but nobody can hit you with it. The debris breaks up in atmosphere and tiny pieces (with a few larger, actually dangerous ones) are scattered randomly over hundreds of square miles of what is most likely the Pacific Ocean.
