You keep acting like a asked a different question. You are ignoring the AXIS part out of intellectual dishonesty.
The earth rotates around a axis. Is that false.
A specific point on earth’s equator rotates at .2880556 miles per second around a AXIS. Is that false.
For a geostationary satellite to stay above the same point on earth’s equator, it must travel at 1.91 miles a second around the same AXIS to maintain its “ gravitationally curved trajectory” is that false.
No you keep acting like my answer doesnt apply. It does. A geostationary satellite does rotate around a point in space. This point is the middlepoint of your axis.
If you say so. Now tell me, how does it it do that, Neutronflux? It's not orbiting the Earth.
What Is a Geosynchronous Orbit?
www.space.com...
So a satellite at low Earth orbit — such as the International Space Station, at roughly 250 miles (400 km) — will move over the surface, seeing different regions at different times of day. Those at medium Earth orbit (between about 2,000 and 35,780 km, or 1,242 and 22,232 miles) move more slowly, allowing for more detailed studies of a region. At geosynchronous orbit, however, the orbital period of the satellite matches the orbit of the Earth (roughly 24 hours), and the satellite appears virtually still over one spot; it stays at the same longitude, but its orbit may be tilted, or inclined, a few degrees north or south.

A rocket that flies straight up will not get into orbit. If it's trajectory is generally straight up (on a path that is generally perpendicular to the ground), then that rocket likely would not achieve orbit. Instead, gravity would crash it back to the ground.
Instead, a rocket needs to move generally parallel to the ground (after achieving some height), because the craft's/satellite's eventual orbit would be generally parallel to the ground.

Because, as you could see from the article if you had read it, the aim is not to get the rocket into space but to get it into orbit.
why not shoot it straight up into space, and let it drift back into the desired orbit using the gravity and a bit of thruster.
Because that would probably result in it falling straight down rather than achieving orbit?
Do some research into it if you really are that interested.
Here's a video of the ice wall...

Planes cannot fly to the wall, nor a blimp, nor anything else can do it.
The weather is very extreme, apparently, all of the time, flight is not possible. Other means of travel don't work, either.

Lets ask Google. Google! Why dont satellites fall back to Earth?
"Because they are orbiting Earth."
Google! Why dont geostationary satellites fall back to Earth?
".....Earth is the third planet in our solar system, it's.."

Seeing a rocket fly up towards orbit would support their claim as true, or most likely true, for sure.
Hiding it shows it's all faked.

They always mention where to see things fly in 'orbit', but for some reason, have never once mentioned where to see them going upward, towards 'orbit'!
LOL, indeed!
I've never even seen a rocket fly up to airplane altitudes, and neither have you, or anyone else, seen it.

Seven small satellites launched aboard a Japanese Epsilon rocket Friday, including a diverse suite of tech demo payloads and a spacecraft designed to create an artificial meteor shower next year that developers say should be visible with the naked eye.
SpaceX's Starlink Could Change The Night Sky Forever, And Astronomers Are Not Happy
www.forbes.com... 59b6
“The potential tragedy of a mega-constellation like Starlink is that for the rest of humanity it changes how the night sky looks,” says Ronald Drimmel from the Turin Astrophysical Observatory in Italy. “Starlink, and other mega constellations, would ruin the sky for everyone on the planet.”

so you dont believe rockets go into space ?
so the US and USSR just had a cold war over nothing then did they ?
so you are saying that ICBM's cant go into orbit and then deploy their warheads to kill targets all over the planet
that MAD and the Cold war is all just an elaborate hoax to keep us stupid ?
and that we are all being sold a big fat lie ?

IT DOES NOT MOVE RELATIVE TO A POINT ON EARTHS SURFACE!
Exactly, so how is it orbiting the Earth? It isnt. It has to move relative to the surface in order to orbit.
It moves on a circle with is center being the center of Earth. It moves on a circle with a length of 265680 km with a speed of 11070 km/h in exactly 24 hrs.
