Thank you and please come again! 😉

In a live broadcast Christer Fuglesang set the new MTA record by keeping a disc in the air for 20 seconds, claiming the new MTA world record.
Fuglesang’s first attempt, was a dud. As fellow astronaut Thomas Reiter, a German pilot, counted down – “Three, two, one, go!” – Fuglesang released his white Frisbee. The two floated together for a bit, but then the Frisbee went askew and Fuglesang caught it, laughing, after a few seconds.
Then Fuglesang tried again. “Ten seconds,” Reiter reported, checking his watch. “15.” As he announced, “20 seconds,” Fuglesang grinned broadly, let out a triumphant “Aaaah!” and grabbed the disc.
Perhaps a political move as he could have waited longer, but nevertheless very cool!

(artist’s impression of a disc in space, but watch this space: when the video on YouTube comes out we will add it here)
UPDATE:If you have a decent connection, you can watch the footage at http://www.tv4.se/nyheter/fuglesang/512491.html. Scroll down about 25% of the page until you see a big headline that says “Hoppas vi får ett besök på slottet”, right underneath you can click on the link “Se Fuglesang sla varldsrekord med frisbee”
UPDATE 2: Link to WFDF press release

Discovery’s seven astronauts are among the most culturally diverse of any space shuttle crew. There are two African-Americans, an astronaut of Indian descent, the soon-to-be first Swede in space, a British-born mission specialist, an Alaskan and a Jersey Boy.
The Swede, Christer Fuglesang, is a former national Frisbee champion and plans to bring a Frisbee up to space. During a live satellite link-up with children on Earth, he’ll try to set the record for maximum time aloft! (more…)
Link to ABC’s story: How long will a Frisbee fly in space?
UPDATE:

Discovery took off early Sunday morning, and now the time schedule is official: Friday December 15 GMT 19:07. That’s when the first ever officially sanctioned sports event will happen in space ! ESA (European Space Agency) have been granted official sanctioning from WFDF and the Swedish Frisbeesport Federation for an MTA (Maximum Time Aloft) competition.

“One University of Washington psychiatry professor has identified a strange correlation — schools with top-ranked ultimate Frisbee teams also have higher graduation rates. Michael J. Norden analyzed the Ultimate Players Association’s performance ratings for men and women’s teams and discovered both public and private schools with top-ranked ultimate teams have higher graduation rates than schools with lower-ranked teams.” Read more
Hmmmm…. I don’t know, but this sounds like questionable use of statistics…
