This is the name given to the platform where cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin hit a golf ball into space on Thanksgiving day. The cozy moniker was coined by Nataliya Hearn, president and CEO of Element 21, the Canadian golf club manufacturer that paid for the golf shot as a publicity stunt.Now that we've had golf shots on the moon [video] and from the ISS, private spaceflight participants may be next up on the tee. Space Adventures is offering spacewalks as a new option for space flights to the ISS , though the company has not yet defined what sporting goods will be included in the package.
Now that golf industry has taken a shot, how long until the rest of the sports industry catches on? I want to see the first low-gravity Jai-alai tournament.
