Default Golf in space

Well, I listened while in bed last night to the surreal mental picture of a
Russian and an American playing a golf shot in space.

I could not help but think of it as completely mad, but somehow endearingly
human. From the comments I got the distinct impression that the absurdity
of the moment was not lost on the participants either.

Still, it happened, and seems to have been successful, even thought the
'ball' went in an unexpected direction.

I listened on through the investigations of the jammed aerial, which was
interesting as well, as although they could not unjam it, even with an Irish
screwdriver' there was a lot of data gathered which could not have been
without humans at the scene.

If they eventually leave it jammed, I'd be a bit worried that it could cause
a pivoting at undock.

Brian
