considering maestoso means "majestic", I would think maybe a moderate to fast adagio?

Maestoso means Majestic, or stately..So play with power, and feeling. Put your emotions into the song, and piece. It doesn't mean Fast or Slow, just at a nice steady pace. Like a march, with no tempo metre -grand and stately, but following the tempo indicated.
The Barcarolle by Offenbach (a beautiful piece) is slow, yet emotional. Try listening to a recording of it on iTunes, or a CD somewhere (I have it, will have to look into my archives of CDs) If you can't find this song in a mp3 version, just e-mail me and I'll see if I can find it for you soon.

Maestoso is not so much a tempo marking as a dynamic marking similar to Forte and is used with tempo markings; ex. Allegro Maestoso, Andante Maestoso, etc.

Maestoso really does not indicate tempo. It could be any speed with that marking.
