View Full Version : watch this drive...
...comrade.
the next ruskie commander to head on up to the ISS plans to put a golf ball into orbit with a 6 iron. gauranteed to be the longest drive in history.

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.

Best thing about space golf? Completely eliminating your slice and hook problems.
Pesky aerodynamics.

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

It's all fun and games until it collides with a satellite and thousands lose HBO...

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.
