Boomerangs Come Back In Space, Too
Who would've thought it. Boomerangs come back even when you throw them in space. We were pretty skeptical when we mentioned the Japanese guy who decided he would test boomerang throwing while he was at the International Space Station, but now we humbly bow to him. He was right!
Astronaut Takao Doi said:
"I was very surprised and moved to see that it flew the same way it does on Earth," during an experiment that his bosses were quick to say he did in his spare time.
This really does open up some opportunities for future space tourism. If boomerangs work, then that's already one bonus activity that a space resort can offer us. Now they just need to find a place where we can go snorkeling, surfing and swimming and we'll all be ready for our trip on Virgin Galactic.
