Baseball Batting Practice on Minmus

[Klapaucius]

I've had this idea percolating for a few days, and finally had some time to put it together. Once I discovered that a firework with no trail looks like a glowing ball, I had to try this.  Low gravity is a better environment.  You have to pitch slowly.  The firework will pass through objects if it is going fast.  It needs refining, but the concept works.

 

Truth to tell, it looks more like a cricket bat.

You need a bit of an upward angle on the swing, otherwise you're just going to keep hitting ground balls.

Yes, that is part of the planned upgrade.

Will it come with a conversion to metric? Regulations specify a 18.4404 m distance from the launcher to the plate.

That makes for .09167 furlongs, the official measurement for Minmus Baseball.
