I was wondering... If it were possible to throw a 90 mph fastball from the ISS at its current height straight "down" towards the Earth, would it just go into a funky orbit or would you actually be able to get it to snag the atmosphere and burn up?<br /><br />Now instead of straight "down", you threw it at an angle, say 45 degrees into the line of flight from straight down, 45 degrees aft, straight into the line of flight, and straight aft from the line of flight. Which of these angles has the best chance, if any, of throwing the baseball into the atmosphere for burning up? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
