Right. It only appears to be moving straight down given my perspective as the pusher. Downwards is a term that generally means "towards the ground." But I understand we are both circling the Earth as that's happening.
The comment that confused me was Polymaths explanation where is it moves away from you but then appears to comes back only to fall back down later. Is that some kind of elliptical orbit that crosses your own at certain points?
