How can you self-identify as a science geek and not know that rockets take them to orbit, that they remain in orbit by themselves for a long time unless the orbit is low enough to result in atmospheric drag, and that few are ever brought back to Earth (excepting manned missions) and that most will remain in orbit for hundreds or thousands of years, barring some sort of war, cataclysm, or concerted effort to collect them?
Geez. Sorry I asked.

He’s asking a question. If you are bothered by that all you have to do is not respond. He certainly doesn’t need you rant.
