To put the gyroscope notion to bed I'll offer up one example. A helicopter running on the deck of a wildly pitching and rolling ship, providing there is no SAS engaged, the rotor will maintain the same path relative to the helicopter and ship.
Nice one Megan that is an inconvenient truth for the pro-gyro clan, the lack of rigidity in space mentioned by AC a while ago and ignored by the playground bullies
