The Future of Space Sports

Posted by Soulskill on from the enemy's-gate-is-down dept.

Loether writes "Space.com has a fun article about how astronauts aboard the ISS play 'sports' in zero gravity. It talks about learning how to throw in a straight line instead of the arc we all take for granted, relay races, and using large water filled bags as medicine balls. 'We realized that you could toss and catch and then go for a ride on this big thing as it takes you away.' The astronauts also put out a request for new ideas for space sports. Have any suggestions?"

    Why would that be flamebait? It is merely a statement of facts. Blacks make up 12-15 percent of the population, but 90+ percent of professional athelets.

    It pisses me off to no end that we can't conlude that one race may be better at things than another (due to P.C.).
