Object rotation in vacuum and the Friction force

Quote by russ_watters View Post
If it is floating out in space and not connected to anything, yes. Conservation of energy demands that if nothing saps energy from it, it won't lose its rotational kinetic energy.
Considering the perfect symmetrical object rotating on its axis in vacuum, will it be possible to create a model arround it, here on the Earth ?

If I put 2 bodies in a free falling vaccuum chamber, will they rotate around each other ?
Apologies if the question is dumb.
