Maybe it'll keep the planet from losing its tilt.

Going to need a friggin big gyroscope for that task...

Um, a 24 hour period is a mighty slow rate.


Its just a matter of scale. What...86,400 seconds is too slow for

Thats 1 rpd....but its a bit more than 1000 mph. And it goes around

Course that too is only 1 rpy. Shrug
