Isn't this thread discussing a very specific orbital range? The 450k-800k range is big, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as "incomprehensibly big".

Anything orders of magnitude larger than the Pacific Ocean deserves that title IMO.

It’s at least bigger than the surface of the earth :)

Landfills can go underground though! Although I agree that it's unlike we can dig several hundred thousand kilometers :)
