I may have just misunderstood you point?

I thought you critized my idea of taking speed into account, by saying that objects in geosynchronous orbit would be stationary as seen from the ground. I just wanted to note that although that is true enough for this argument, such an object would still travel it's orbit at a significantly different velocity compared to the spot on the ground underneath.

Earth's surface rotates at about 1000mph, and to maintain geosynchronous orbit an object must orbit at about 7000mph - that why I said 'orbital' flight speed as opposed to surface speed.

The Kármán line at 100km is a fairly agreed upon estimate.

But it feels wrong to let anything just hover in place over one's airspace - it might be an idea to include a requirement for the object to be at an orbital flight speed.

Is that book title supposed to motivate me to expel as much pure evil as I can?

It's rather minimal, and we for the most part have volunteers enough that few are ever drafted.

Especially when they're in the prime demographic of being particularly dedicated to their education.

Because the previous 8 months have proven that anything by Russia will occur according to design xD
