Did you know that for a boomerang to do a 360 and return right back to its throwing spot, you need to be in ZERO gravity? And nobody has ever tried it yet. So now, Takao Doi, a 53-year-old Japanese astronaut is set to make history by being the first man in space to throw a boomerang. Doi is traveling to the International Space Station in March to be in charge of the construction of a Japanese scientific testing room. What better way to unwind a bit in space other than throwing boomerangs, right? Doi is doing the boomerang test when Yasuhiro Togai, a boomerang throwing champ from Osaka, requested him to do so. In fact, Doi has taken boomerang throwing lessons from said champ in preparation for the event. Good luck, Doi-san!
