The speed at which forward velocity carries an object into orbit (falling past the Earth's edge) is called "escape velocity". With no atmopheric friction or a counteracting acceleration, the object can coast in a stable orbit. The speed required, as measured at the Earth's surface, is 11.2 kilometers per second (7 miles/sec) or about 25,000 mph. That is the speed needed to leave Earth's atmosphere and go into space.
