The planes will be made of a specially treated paper that can withstand extreme heat and water. Yes, even a little paper airplane will create significant heat upon re-entering the atmosphere. Remember that it’s being launched from the ISS, which is in orbit, meaning that it will be traveling at around 17,000 mph. If my knowledge of physics is correct, since it’s so light it will have less inertia, and thus slow down much faster than say, a spaceship or a meteor… so it shouldn’t have to withstand the heat for very long. My question is this- do they really expect it to be found? The vast majority of the planet is covered by water, so the chances are that it will land in the middle of the ocean and never seen again.

How amazing would it be if you were walking down the street and one of these just landed in front of you? (I was actually picturing it hitting you in the head, but I have no idea how safe that would be.) Simply amazing.

Ahora tienen otro proyecto para lanzar en pleno espacio nueve aviones de papel para hacer vuelos experimentales y ver si son capaces de llegar hasta la superficie terrestre. Y ya tienen hasta los prototipos. [...]
