I've always gotten a kick out of how time and space moved thru... wait, what did space move into faster than the speed of light? And did this for how long?

This is why the preferred orbital launch direction is to the east and the preferred location is a mountain top on the equator, Kilimanjaro or somewhere in the Andes , like Quito

Yeah, I get all of that, and know that you understand that too.
It's just that how you had written that point prior was ambiguous if not confusing (backwards?) for the typical reader.
