how do you spin a planet? O_O

Smash a big rock into it? Massive engines pointing 45 degrees up from the surface with fusion reactors powering them throwing particles out of orbit circling the equator? Magic? I dunno I was being dumb when I wrote my comment lol. Sounds like a cool ideaz

Edit: I’m not cool enough for ideaz.

this is all sci-fi. no such thing as a stupid idea! only limit is current technology. but from a physics p.o.v. all could work xD

If there's no air drag/low density you could hook 1 or 2 fusion engines to it to create the spin

the fusion engines will power ion thrusters?

I imagine. Rockets work way better in space because no resistance/gravity
