# the little line which says 'IN SPACE!'
didn't come out, I'm mildly upset... I like the idea that even though it's referred to as GEOSTATIONARY and you know that generally requires being in ORBIT that it ought really be obvious that it's in SPACE or at least on the cusp

however the joke is lost.

# hmmmmm
surely you can be in geostationary orbit 6 inches off the ground ?

which practically requires *IN SPACE* for the purposes of clarification (:

# You'd need to have some kind of engine for that.
There's only one specific height where you can stay in geostationary orbit without external propulsion.
God I'm such a geek.

# I don't think it counts as an orbit
if you continually have to apply thrust to stay there, that's called flying.
