Paper plane

[h2ouniverse]

Amazing article in New Scientist.<br />http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13208-origami-spaceplane-aims-for-space-station-descent.html<br />I wonder how they will be able to track during its descent.

WOW! That's a nice project. I wonder how successful it will be, and if anything can be applied in today's space travel. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>

I got an idea...<br /><br />When we have a mars mission, send up a bunch of sheets of paper, so that on their return trip home they can construct a GIANT paper airplane, and then launch it into earth before they reenter. Would give them something to do on that long journey home. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
