Default What Goes Up, Must Come Down
This colloquialism being a common substantiation, is effectually misrepresentative...

Allow myself to elucidate.

By propelling an object out of geosynchronous orbit, with the capacity to produce propulsion effectively counteracting the gravity forces of other planetoids and deep space bodies, said object would never 'come down'.

Interpolate said propulsion as a Solar Array or Nuclear Reactors?

And to be genuinely conceivable on my part, the plausibility of said object penetrating deep space and encountering a gravitational force able to dislocate its trajectory, is slim to none...Certainly in our Lifetimes!

It's essentially the same apophthegm as "If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around, does it make a sound?"
