Ehm, good one… what would happen to all satellites and ISS? Would all that junk still spin in the same orbit or would it be flung out into space?

I think they would be going on with their business because gravity would be still the same. IANAP

I mean, sure, there will be some people on the lower end of that 0-1,000 MPH curve that are not in very close vicinity to any objects to splort against. Inupiat, Aleut, Sami, Yamalo-Nenets... anyone inside the arctic circle should be relatively fine, speed-wise.
