A cosmonaut is to tee off in space and send a ball on a four-year orbit of the earth. It will travel 12.5 million miles after Russian Pavel Vinogradov whacks it from the International Space Station.

ummm…okay NASA is worried that he might ’slice’ the shot and hit the space station, taking out a solar pannel…or while this ball travles in orbit it might take out a satalite…these all seem to be VERY resonable concerns…but alas the ‘comonaut’ claims that he’s very confident he’ll be able to hit the ball into a safe orbit. Well unless he’s playing on the PGA I find that hard to believe. What’s even better is that this is another stunt brought to you by Canada…it seems a golf company is using this as a marketing tool…Welcome to CrzyLand
