The future, then, looks bounded by that new outer limit of planet Earth, the geostationary orbit.

那么，未来看来要被限制在地外边界之内，即同。

Current designs estimate that it would take about 8 days to elevate an object into geostationary orbit.

依照现在设计，预估大约需要八天才能将一物体抛上地同。

Objects at this specific distance are in geostationary orbit, meaning they revolve around Earth at the same rate the planet spins, thus appearing motionless in the sky.

处在这特定距离下物体，同时也处在地同上，意味着它们绕行地速率和地自转相同，因此它们在天空中位置看起来静止不动。

These mechanisms would require huge amounts of electricity, which could be provided by solar panels or potentially even nuclear systems. Current designs estimate that it would take about 8 days to elevate an object into geostationary orbit.

这些机制需要大量电力，这些电力可以由太阳能电池板甚至核系统提供。目前设计估计，将物体提升到地静止大约需要 8 天。
