I was somewhat distracted last night while reading [name withheld] because
the axis of rotation used by the spacestation in the book is dynamically
unstable (Imagine a pencil rotating like a bullet around the short axis).
Given time and perterbations and a total lack of station keeping, it will
end up going end over end. A torus would be a more stable design.
