[ODE] rotating spheres (planets)

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

We heard you the first time. The reason you're not getting an answer 
could be one of the following:

1) what do you mean by "correctly" ?

2) what do you mean by "displaced around the axis of rotation" ?

3) "resting" and "rotating" don't go together -- an object is by 
definition not "resting" if it's in contact with a moving body

The reason we didn't even say this was that the question was so fuzzy 
that we'd rather spend our time answering questions that were better 
expressed, here or in other fora. Just re-posting the exact same 
questions again just serves to annoy.

For more information, I suggest: 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

To get a quick answer to your question: just code up the simulation, 
which should take all of an hour, and see what it does. This means that 
you don't even need to re-phrase your question. If you had done this the 
first time, you'd have had an answer a long time ago.

Cheers,
