The Difference Between Holland, The Netherlands and the Kingdom of the Netherlands


(Video Link)

C.G.P. Grey, who once elegantly explained the national distinctions of the United Kingdom, is back with a similar treatment for Holland. Er, I mean, the Netherlands. And the Kingdom of the Netherlands. All of which are different concepts.

The ISS is 73mx109m, orbits in low Earth orbit range (340km) and appears as a little dot to the naked eye. So how big would something need to be to be readable to the naked eye in LEO? If you wanted park the ad in a geostationary orbit it would need to be out at 35,786km which I am thinking means you would need something REALLY BIG.
I hate the idea but something tells me these guys haven't thought this one through enough.
