Can you believe that all the engeneering and work by all countries involved could end up doing something so amazing like hitting a golf ball. Grow up people. The tax payers did not intend to build the ISS for corporate use. I want my money back! what a joke!
Ps. I love golf, and when i find out which company is promoting this stupid stupid idea, I will boycot there products, I suggest all who visit this site do the same….is there any intelligent life out there….hello…hello..?

In all the interesting notes, comments, and discussions above, no one has bothered to address the real concern. If you research a little deeper, to the really, really fine print, you wil notice that before the ball is teed up, they first want to toss out a windmill to add a more realistic obstacle to the course. I always hated that hole too….

The difference in precession for two objects in almost identical orbits is effectively zero in only 3 months. The ISS is boosted back up about 6 km every 3 months, so once a single reboost occurs, there will never be the slightest chance of a collision.

Thanks NelC – I obviously divided by two once too often.

Next time I won’t do the math in my head.
