<I told him that LEOs are smaller than GEOs because they are closer to the earth, so they need to be smaller and/or go faster because of Earth's gravitational pull. > CB, this is the mistake you make. Being abusive, coarse, vulgar and insulting is another because it says more about you than the people you refer to. If you put 20 different size things outside a space shuttle, they all stay orbiting together, from a grain of sand to the shuttle itself. The big one doesn't go flying up and the little one fall down. The fuel isn't needed to resist gravity in the sense you meant - it's just to extremely gently nudge them back on track as they drift around, pulled by the moon, sun, Mount Everest [that's a tiny effect but I mention it for fun] and all the other little effects.
