Boomerang thrown in space and.....
I thought a boomerangs leading edge was crucial to its performance, but after the space experiment, realise now it is sharp edge is to improve its kill rate.
So why does the boomerang come back?
"Earlier this month, a Japanese astronaut threw a boomerang in space and confirmed it flies back much like on Earth.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Astronaut confirmed that Takao Doi "threw a boomerang and saw it come back" during his free time on March 18 on board the International Space Station.
Doi threw the boomerang after a request from compatriot Yasuhiro Togai, a world boomerang champion."
