Default SPACE STATION IDEA

If this wheel variation did point at the Sun initially, then over the course
of a year, it would not again until the end of the year.
The spin angular momentum vector is invariant intertially.
Any wheel design station that attempts to use fixed solar panels on the toroid
to face the Sun will have this problem.
