The bigger chunks, hit at orbital velocity, would be worse than real gas -- and even if was gas, it would be too much. To quote XKCD, orbit isn't far away, it is FAST away. And geostationary orbit is both far and fast away. (while it is "stationary" relative to the earth's surface, if you lifted something from the earth's surface up to geostationary orbit, it won't be going fast enough to stay stationary) | |
