I am having some serious brain fuses popping... The boomerang's return is from aerodynamics, it flies in a banked attitude that causes it to turn, with a proper throw it returns to near the release point. The shape of the 'wing' is what allows it to maintain altitude while the off-wing COG makes it bank and 'climb' through its turn.

In orbit there is no aer to effect aerodynamics.

Could Doi be messing with our heads? Part of me thinks so, but these astronaut guys don't seem the type to play a prank on the unsuspecting public. Thus the fuses.

I suppose the video might convince me. Maybe they'll let me go up and see it for myself?
