SpaceBall He wins every time! The Japanese seem to have the most fun aboard the ISS, making space sushi, and taking Twipics. Now, Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa has accomplished what so many only children on Earth have unsuccessfully attempted: playing baseball with yourself. In this video, shot aboard the ISS during missions 28 and 29, the JAXA astronaut throws a few pitches, hits them with a tiny bat, and even manages to get himself out. We're really hoping Furukawa doesn't break any windows playing ball in the house. [Wired]
