As the World Turns may have something to do with orbits and trajectories.
A satellite in geosynchronous orbit is always in the same place above earth as the earth turns because it turns with the earth.
A rocket, missile, aircraft or spacecraft must plot a trajectory, and one of the arguments/parameters of the trajectory equation is the rotation of the earth as the earth turns.
