A question I'm embarrased to ask - earth's spin

taken to an orbital limit the object becomes weightless,

An object in orbit is not weightless. That's why it's held in orbit, by
gravity. If it was weightless, gravity could not act on it. It would not
have inertia. An object in orbit is actually in a constant state of
freefall. That's why you feel weightless, and things float about, when
in orbit.

Or when you make an airplane out of an orange crate and jump off the
garage roof. Nevermind....
