Scientists are going to try launching paper planes from space? Cool idea, I wish I could get me some of that research money.
I tried this same experiment a few years ago, only it wasn't a paper plane. It was a hamburger wrapper. Oh, and it wasn't from space, it was from the drivers side window of my Jeep. It was a rousing success, the wrapper made it to the ground ok, didn't burn up on re-entry. I wish at that time I'd have used some other material though, as the deputy behind me wrote me the $200 ticket. Maybe if I'd explained it to be an important successful science experiment he'd have let me go.
Hmmm...
