Well sure, inside the space station, in an environment with air. Yawn. But what about outside the space station in the near vacuum of space? That’s what I thought you were saying when I saw the teaser for this story. Now that would have been a real surprising result.
Well at least they’re doing valuable research. In other news, I saw in Bob Park’s newsletter that it costs as much to send an astronaut to the ISS to throw a boomerang as it does to send a probe to Mars.
“But what about outside the space station in the near vacuum of space?”And what cool spacey whooshing Star Wars/ Star Trekish NOISE does the boomerang make?
LOL. I imagine it would sound exactly not like this.
