European Space Agency astronaut Christer Fuglesang was once a Swedish national Frisbee champion, holding the national title in "maximum time aloft" in 1978. Fuglesang will take one of his personal Frisbees to the International Space Station.

If he chucks it during EVA, I think he's a cinch to shatter the time aloft record. Not to mention height and distance.

I think that he can do it inside the shuttle as well, just let the Frisbee float and catch it after a few hours, no one will be able to break that record. (I do not think that he will be allowed to take it outside).

"If he chucks it [frisbee] during EVA, I think he's a cinch to shatter the time aloft record. Not to mention height and distance."

I was just joking on the Shuttle Launch Live Thread last Thursday that they should permit Christer to zing one toward Earth on an EVA, but I'm amazed to find out today that he is actually taking a frisbee with him on the mission and will be tossing it while inside (probably inside the ISS) to "stimulate interest of children for space exploration" in his words.

But Fuglesang says he has no thought of taking it out on a spacewalk.

"That would probably be the last spaceflight that I do in that case," he says.
