The ball is expected to travel up to 2.1 billion miles before it drops back into the atmosphere and burns up.

I think he'll have to take a drop for his next shot though.

Rawlings should get in on the act and have one of our astronauts hit a few fungos off the space shuttle.

So the balls and clubs are already on the station? That would be hilarious if the folks who are already there got bored and took the shot themselves.

I always thought it would be cool to take a paper airplane up and throw it off into space.
