[ODE] rotating spheres (planets)

[Megan Fox]

Not really - as far as I know, there isn't a single physics engine out
there aimed at orbitally-sized simulations, but I was waiting for Jon
to weigh in (I believe he's using double precision, which might be
able to handle this, but I've no idea).

My question, though is - Why on earth would you want to simulate a
pebble and a planet with full rigid body physics?
