I'd like to see the proposed mechanism as well. Unless I've messed
something up, the ballistic number of the golf ball is so much lower
than that of ISS it really isn't going to be in the same neighborhood
for very long. The current relatively high eccentricity of the ISS
(13km) orbit extends the window a bit I guess...
That's a good point. It wouldn't have time enough to get much different.
