How can I change the sense of rotation of the Earth?

Hi, :)
as I plan to record a smooth zoom out from the earth into big intergalactical emptiness in order to play it backward for a nice zoom in on spinning earth (it seems easier than zoom in blindly and stop at the right place right?), I need to change the sense of rotation of the earth so as not to be inconsistent. :? I had a look in the solarsys.ssc file but could not find what parameter to change. Any idea ?

1. negate RotationPeriod
or
2. run simulation time backward

or, alternatively
3. goto position in intergalactic space
Select Sol/Earth
goto Earth with appropriate time
A short .CEL script could do this.
