Astronauts Not Left With Time For Golf
Topic: Technology

The two spacemen on the international space station have been denied their chance to go down in record books as having the world's longest golf drive. Too bad for them, it's only work out there in their space walk.

However, all is not lost. The Russian company that was paying for the publicity stunt merely postponed the drive attempt at the request of NASA to help fix a remote camera on the outside of the ship. Supposedly the shot was going to take a half hour, which we can't quite believe. We've played a lot of golf, and taking a half hour for one drive would definitely call for the people stuck behind you to play through.
