So...does a spinning object in a in a vacuum never stop spinning? If not...what stops it?

That's correct, a spinning object in a vacuum keeps its rotational speed until it strikes another object. Alternatively, a strong, local magnetic field would also slow it down. The magnetic field of the earth would not really make a difference though.

See, you learn something new everyday!

Now, when we can figure out how to get rifle ranges and game fields inside of a vacuum we will have a whole new topic to discuss.
