Could anyone explain to me why there are people not rating 5 stars? Far as I know the only ratings that are given are 5 stars and 1 stars, so are you, trolls? creationists that believe the earth is flat and therefore satelites don't exist?

well i always thought you'd have to be going REAL fast to get enough resistance out of the atmosphere to burn something up.

Wasn't there some military guy that sky dived from the edge of the atmosphere and made it? only dude to exceed the sound barrier un-assisted.

I'd wonder if you tossed like a penny or brick out of a space ship towards the earth, if it would just reach terminal velocity and float its way back down?

wheres a physics professor when you need one? lol

Not likely, it would probably burn up in the atmosphere.

Think if you threw something from space down at the earth..

eventually i'd make it back down there?
