So, your issue is that I used the acronym GSO? Not the height of the satellite?

Yes, words mean things and GSO has a very specific meaning. It means Geostationary Orbit. A satellite in a GSO orbit stays above the same point on the Earth’s equator. It is where most of our TV satellites are and a lot of our communication satellites too. Not trying to be an ass but I am a science guy so I do try to correct (big) errors when I come across them.
