Don't need Science based tag if it's tagged with Hard-Sci

Fixed another link and edited title

| Oct 22, 2017 at 2:15 | comment | added | LanceLercher | @Phiteros I don't know if this changes your mind at all on tidal locking, but I've added a 5th source that explains how atmospheres can also mitigate tidal locking. Also, I believe I tried to read about what exactly causes tidal locking on Wikipedia before, and had a really hard time of it. | |

Changed info in regards to pressure and added fourth source

| Oct 22, 2017 at 2:01 | comment | added | Phiteros | Why would liquid water keep a body from becoming tidally locked? Tidal locking happens because of a differential gravitational field acting on an elastic object. Having liquid water on an object won't stop it from being tidally slowed. Read through the Wikipedia page on tidal locking. | |
