Sunsets in Outer Space?

We're off taking advantage of our Stanford library privileges, in order to flesh out a few big-picture ideas. The wannabe emperor in the clip above, by contrast, could certainly do a better job of paying attention to the small picture—say, for example, noticing that there are no sunsets in space. (Unless he has a revolving ship specially designed for this purpose.) He strikes us as exactly the sort of galactic villain/chump whose headquarters will feature a needless thermal exhaust port.
