The ISS moves 7,2km/s
By your logic it would have to move 252 km/h
No balloon can travel that fast.
Thats about how fast the upper jetstreams move.
In 1936 the Zeppelin could travel at a speed up to 135km/h, and that thing was 800 foot long. For a modern hybrid airship, I assume they can get closer to the 200km/h mark.
You would think that an 800 foot long zeppelin would be visible. Why isn't it?
If the airships that suspend satellites aren't invisible, we'd see them all the time.
Probably fly when it is dark outside.
