With Elon Musk and Richard Branson and others fighting it out to see who can get the first tourists into space it will only be a matter of time before we take the Olympics there. What events might take place in a Space Olympics competition we wondered? And you told us…

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

This week it was time for a bit of Swedish flavour as @Saga_Says joined The UnNamed Ones to co-host the gravity out of this game.

As per usual we sent out an invitation and a few starter tweets:

Saga hit the ground running, or at least jumping in slow motion in a big ole spacesuit:

And the game itself flirted with the trends:

But we all held our breath, waiting to see what you would launch at us and of course you didn’t disappoint and some of the tweets that really stood out for us make up this week’s:
