I think that is way cool. I like the design of the paper airplane.

Not the paper airplane design I would use.

Shame there wasn't a video to go with this article! It says the plane was made from paper board. This sounds more like cardboard and not paper (or am I being picky?)

The video is available at (if we're allowed to post links): http://www.foxcap.org/content/nearspaceballoon

David Colton Clarke, you are being picky. Cardboard is made of several layers of paper. But I agree it would have been cool to see a video of the whole flight.

As several of us noted over at The Register, was it in fact a paper aeroplane as it didn't have a pilot as did PARIS.

Did it break the sound barrier? It could well have been the fastest paper plane ever to fly(drop) through the sky.

What about the paper plane flight from 31,849 m in UK last December, as far as I know 31,849 m is quite a lot higher than 29,432 m http://ava.upuaut.net/?p=650 and http://www.daveakerman.com/?p=1469 Graham

Money and energy that could have seen better use. So what is next ? A paper plane mounted chemical bomb or a biological weapon that can't be detected by radar ?
