This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.83 x 10^6 kg and length 1402 meters. Small probes of mass 7640 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 3996 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 400 m from the center of the rod. After 13 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?   A 2.10 rpm   B 1.68 rpm   C 2.52 rpm   D 1.34 rpm
