Re: Satellite

No, i'm just surprised. I imagined they'd be closer. 22,000+ miles up is nearly three times Earth's diameter. Almost three Earths would fit between Earth's surface and the satellite. That's far!

In contrast, the International Space Station and Shuttle, when it goes to the ISS, orbit at less than 250 miles up. 189-246 miles vs 22,223 miles, a huge difference.
