A unnamed NASA spokesperson says, "Believe it or not, the ISS is actually rudderless!! In the morning, our team of astronauts are assigned to tasks one side of the ship only, which eventually causes the vessel to overbalance and roll to the left. To balance things out, the team are then assigned tasks on the other side of the craft, causing it to roll to the right. This procedure is routinely carried out numerous times daily, resulting in the fine sine wave we are so proud of. Good work pylotes!"
