The aerodynmic forces still apply even in zero G of course.

There is simply no gravity to counter against.

I suppose how you throw it would matter consderably, I would be interested if it produced “lift” and rose “up” relative to the way it was thrown. You could counter that by throwing it “down” some so to speak.

Clearly it was producing lift just like on earth to produce a turning trajectory.
