I recently read on CNN.com about a Japanese paper plane planed for launch into space. The plane is about 2.8 inches long and 2 inches wide. It’s a prototype that has survived Mach 7 speeds and scorching temperatures up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit in a hypersonic wind tunnel in a test outside of Tokyo this February.
Those Japanese people are quite something! They’re my idols :). I’m actually thinking about going to Japan in two years or something, because THAT would be something, right?
