The literature repeatedly refers to something called "etheric rudder" that presumably works in space the way a conventional rudder works on a sea-faring ship. Space Is An Ocean (TVTropes link not included because I have other things to do today and I can't afford to get sucked in for a couple hours again) | |

| Dec 1, 2011 at 4:27 | comment | added | HNL | Agree. Try to imagine a non-banking turn. It looks rather strange. Kind of like Automan's car here: youtube.com/… | |
