thinking along the lines of trash in space. in order to reach out and grab a piece of debris, either it has to stop spinning, or the rotation must be matched. my thought is that rather than 'grabbing' it, surround it and pressurise the space around it so to stop the rotation.

common sense tells me that if an object can remain spinning in the vacuum of space for eternity, than placing that same object within a pressurised environment will cause the object to slow to a stop. is there a way for me to calculate the time in which it would take an object to stop rotating...
