Allright, yes, its rotating very slowly -- much slower than asteroids
normally rotate. Presumably Spike is going to have to position some little
thrusters at various positions around the asteroid to keep it rotating at
precisely that rate in the event that it gets whacked by some lesser
asteroid/meteorite. If it gets whacked by a non-lesser asteroid/meteorite
Spike probably doesn't have a telescope any more so it doesn't really
matter.
