      You are wrong. It is easier to adjust earth rotation around its own axis, changing day duration, so that there are exactly 365 days in a year. Well, maybe 256 is better.

        Some weird grammar in that article. I thought it was AI at first.

        a figure skater attempting to spin faster will draw her arms tight to her bodies, and thereby reduce her moment of inertia.

        How many bodies does she have?

          Those blade skates can kill a couple dozen people before they dull out. I’d say 69.

      And the fun part about orbital mechanics is you get that faster orbit by decelerating the earth. Orbital mechanics are a little ironic, don’t ya think?
