The Beginning Of Space Sports Is Here. Starting In The Form Of An Advert By Canadian Golf Equipment Company Element 21 Of Toronto Canada. The Company Paid The Russian Space Agency An Undisclosed Ammount.

The Cosmonaut Tyurin Will Hit A Gold Plated Golfball Off The Back OF The Space Station Into The Earths Orbit. Making It an Amazing Million + Mile hit.

 

The Golf Ball Will Weight 0.16 Ounces Compared To The Standard Weight Of 1.6 Ounces. And Will Be HIt With A Gold Plated Club Which Will Be Returned To Earth At Some Point And Auctioned Off.

Space Authorities State There Is No Danger Of Anby Damage Been Done To The SPace Station As It Was Going Off Backwards. The Ball Should Burn Up In the Earths Atmosphere Within 2-3 Days.

23:28 Secure tee on EVA ladder. Configure TV cam to operating position

23:38 Strike the ball. Desired trajectory: along ?SM axis, -VV, deviation 30 degrees, velocity 1 mps ± 0.2 mps

Thats The Plan.

And Frisbee May Be Next For Space Sports As Swedish Astronaut Christer Fuglesang Plans To Throw A Frisbee From The Space Station. Hoping To Achieve The Longest Time Aloft. (Obviously Only Compared To Earth Records.) But No Matter What The Distance It Will Still Be A record For The Frisbee.

 The First Golf Ball To Be Hit In Space Was 35 Years Ago On The Moon. The Ball Still Sits There.
