The Japanese like to throw things from space. First it was paper airplanes. Now it's boomerangs. Astronaut Takao Doi took a break from space travel to take boomerang-throwing lessons from a world champion. He's now ready to throw one down to earth from the Kibo testing room at the International Space Station in March to see what happens.
The fifty-something year old astronaut is doing this at the request of the thirty-something year old boomerang champ. Got anything else you want Doi to throw down from space? Maybe you should ask him.
How about someone trying to catch it from earth. LOL
I would like to see a toy parachute man be thrown from space, and watch it slowly fall down...

A penny.
No, No....a basketball...or a watermelon.

oh! How about a giant ball of rubberbands! They already tried it on a plane. I would like to see it enter orbit and hit the ground.
