of course it will work, gravity has nothing to do with the lift that the airfoils create, and it did work so suck it you idiots that said it wouldn’t… your dumb

This has been the third time a boomerang has been thrown in space now.
Takao Doi just confirmed what french astronaut Jean Francois Cleroy found in 1997 (on MIR) and German Astronaut Ulf Meerbold found in 1992 (on Spacelab).

Well, they didn’t say no air. Just no gravity. (It’ll come back but about 10′ over his head, if there’s enough room)

They won’t come back.. it’s air resistance and pressure that bends the path of a boomerang. You give these things a path and they’ll just keep on going.
But when you make money throwing around some boomerangs in space.. I guess you’re not complaining! ;)
