It will be moving 1,000 MPH. Hard to sightsee and if in the atmosphere it will rip the building from its moorings.

Yeah, I don’t see how atmospheric pressure differences allow this to happen even if geostationary.

I imagine the windows won’t open. Could be a heck of a draft.
How will they set up the area for worship?? With that orbit changing direction so much, how will they be able to know which direction Mecca is???

Technically it would be an “orbital skyhook” with an “cardio orbit”

Imagine an orbital decline of the asteroid and this thing smashes into the side of Mt. Everest at 1000mph.
Cue Sci-Fi movie...
