It came back! But I think the claim is half false. You see, it was conducted all 3 times within an air filled vessel(gravity absent). Gravity is semi irrelevant to the function of a boomerang. Im pretty sure if the boomerang was thrown outside of the space staion it would not return. Thats a good experiment, try it on the surface of the moon.......fail! :)

IT WILL WORK, IT DID WORK, YOU PEOPLE THAT SAID IT WOULDN'T ARE DUMB, THE AIRFOILS STILL CREATE A HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE FIELD WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT RETURN, IT PROBABLY WORKS BETTER WITH NO GRAVITY IF ANYTHING

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).
