they should be speeding up but not until infinity of course. At some point (here around 300mph) their size with "glide" in the atmosphere causing it to slow down.
It was interesting to watch how they gained speed on the orbit while being sucked by Earth gravity, and then quickly hit the breaks when atmosphere/air got thicker... awesome! Must be amazing feeling, given you would have 3000mph-withstand material, to actually "drop" yourself from space to Earth :)
