Assuming the steel plate didn’t disintegrate in the atmosphere, I think it should count as non-orbital spaceflight, not orbital non-spaceflight. It can’t be orbital if it never completes an orbit, right? It was just yeeted directly to escape velocity. Maybe super-orbital spaceflight?
Orbital non-spaceflight probably means one particular thing to a lot of people.
