Interesting Question...
If I were to tie one end of a rope (a very very long rope) to the ground and the other end to a rocket, and fired the rocket into space, would the rope stay in orbit without falling back down to earth?
Assume once the rope was fully vertical that the rocket was detached and was not pulling the rope any longer.
