We Can Hover As Close As We'd Like Without Actualy "touching".

Richard, if event horizon is at radius r... then technically we can hover at arbitrarily close distance from r: (r + dr). So until we actualy attempt to hover at r (where space is "sucked inward" at speed c), we are still technically allowed to hover (albeit with EXTREME AMOUNT OF ENERGY; but nevertheless not infinite).

Of course as we hover closer and closer to r... time and space distortions become ever more severe (infact infinite to a distant frame, in the limit that distance term 'dr' in "r + dr" aprraoches 0).
