Paper Airplane to Fly from Space to Earth - 03-27-2008, 11:06 PM

I was e-mailed a really interesting article yesterday about a couple of Japanese scientists who intend to conduct a new space experiment. They intend to see if they can manage to send a paper airplane to earth from space. Even if the plane doesn't make it, if they can track it they believe that the research could contribute much to space re-entry technology and design.

It sounds completely crazy, but after reading the article it doesn't sound all that impossible. There are some daunting factors, but every person sounded crazy when they first started talking about people in space. This is truly something.

The final statement touched me:
Quote:
"Just imagine, children around the world would be anxiously waiting for the return of our origami shuttle, perhaps looking up into the sky from time to time," Suzuki said. "That would be great fun."

Read the article
