If you were aware of how a boomerang works, then it would not be surprising to you. Boomerang are generally airfoils with opposite direction. You tried the boomerang in ISS where there is some air. Thats enough for the boomerang to return. It would however never return if it is thrown in vacuum. Yeap another thing it has nothing to do with force of any kind, but the lift theory of airfoils / blade theory.`

What exactly was that....Boomerang on Earth - 1 flag!Boomerang in Space aboard the ISS - 6 flags!Or not so much.... Get to work it cost..20 million dollars to put our much beloved boomerang throwing buddy into space. How about earning some of that back for us all down here. This might be endlessly entertaining but grow some crystals, design a better solar cell or something while they're up there.

So trowing a boomerang in the international space station is not impressive? Oh, tell me all about your life. sounds extreme, when it is that much more impressive!

Well yes and no. The earth is orbiting the sun, but it's in a state of "freefall" around the sun, otherwise we would go into the sun, right? I'm no astrophysicist, but I believe it's just like how the space station is always in a state of freefall around the earth.

unless u read on school, gravity exist even on space because of the sun..if u wana experience 0 gravity u must go far away from any star..so there's some gravity on space.

the "boomerang" uses the oxygen in the ship as the medium to force itself back to the thrower... if the guy throws it outside the spaceship, it will go in a straightline. Point: not amazing.

that is NOT a boomerang people, get it right!!!

That was obvious. A boomerang's shape cuts through the air. He should throw it in a vacuum and see what happens. I theorise that it will go in a straight line.
