Boomerang in space!



This astronaut demonstrates the use of a boomerang in space. I always thought that the boomerang could only work in the atmosphere of Earth. It seems that it doesn't. My bad!

Comments for Boomerang in space!

There is air

There is obviously air in the shuttle or else that astronaut's would die. There is a lack of gravitational force inside the space shuttle, but assuredly there is oxygen for them to breathe.

No Air!!!

C'mon, you guys. Stop being so hard on the poster.
Maybe there was no air. Maybe the astronaut died immediately after conducting the boomerang experiment.
It would totally be worth one lousy astronaut to find out. :o

There is no air in the ship, there is a mixture of gasses which has been designed to be a suitable supplement for the astronauts. It is an artifically designed enviroment, air is used to refer to the natural gas found on earth not gas in general.

Either way it is a silly mistake

Newtons 4th law says any object in the absence of earth air is free to move so long as it's in contact with space air. Thankfully the ISS has lots of space air. Space air makes traveling to the moon difficult because it just makes stuff float and annoy you.

Actually the boomerang would come back in "outerspace"

There is no such thing in this galaxy as a perfect vacuum, there is approximatly 1 hydrogen atom per cm cubed in space.

The boomerang turning effect would take place, but it arc would be around 100,000 miles and take a good few years to return

:clap:

It's only possible when...

You reach 88mph...i'm sure the ISS has a flux capacitor as well. Hope this clears things up.

To be fair...

He may have been confused, seeing as how there's an Air 'n Space Museum.

Yep, that's a special kind of "airless" boomerang. That's also a special kind of "airless" astronaut.

FAKE

The guy's laying on his back so of course the boomerang returns! He could throw a lead cube and it would return! It's a space shuttle mock-up so of course there's no air in there - he's on Earth! There's no air on Earth! Boomerangs don't exist! Astronauts and moon missions are a lie! Oxygen is a liberal global warming conspiracy! Shuttles only go from my parking space to the airplane terminal - they don't go into space!
