The Longest Drive
Maybe you think a titanium driver will help you hit longer shots on the golf course. But that's nothing compared to the technology that Russia may apply to the game. The BBC reports that Russians want to set a record for the longest drive. They want a cosmonaut to hit a ball from the International Space Station. If NASA agrees -- and if the cosmonaut manages to hit the ball while wearing a spacesuit -- it could stay in orbit four years, and travel millions of miles.
