- maxerickson 6y agoFunny that the video contradicts the article, showing him hitting 3 shots. He also has little trouble with the mechanics of the shot that he is able to take with the suit on.
- ra88it 6y agoI thought that was odd too. Maybe the middle one was a practice swing? edit - I watched it again more closely. Looks like he threw down the second ball and the middle shot was either a practice swing or he missed it altogether and it wasn't counted (which I think is fair given he was wearing a thick space suit in low gravity swinging one handed with a fishbowl on his head). edit 2 - Just seeing child post. Guess I gotta watch it again :) edit 3 - Yep, child post is correct. It's sort of weird how confusing this short video is. The second ball kind of appears out of nowhere, as if he was doing a practice swing and dropping the ball at the same time.

- maxerickson 6y agoA ball is clearly visible at 46s. Watching it again, he swings 4 times. I don't see a ball for the second swing, but they are clearly visible for the other 3. I imagine the analyst found where 2 landed and the write up misunderstood that to be the number of shots.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoAnd maybe the analyst didn't find the third ball because it did, indeed, fly "miles and miles and miles".
- tln 6y agoThanks for posting that! They looked like a chip shots that'd go 10-15 yards on earth
- aero-glide2 6y agoCan't believe we did that 50 years ago. Sadly manned spaceflight went downhill from then.
