    Well, if the airplanes make it back without burning up maybe they can find some cheaper way to return small hard goods to Earth.

    Whenever I hear the word Oragami, I am forever reminded of this commercial for Little Caesars. I sometimes lose faith in humanity when people ask me "What's that?" and I answer, "A Pterodactyl", and they don't understand.

    No video or instructions on how to fold your own? What are the details of the 27.9 second flight anyway? I've had mine stay up for longer than that, but I launched it out of a 20 storey window.

    I'm pretty sure everybody wishes they could take their job to space. Is there really anything that would be less cool up there?

    I space out at my job, usually in the afternoon. Does that count?

    @okeribok: WHAT? sex in space would be AWESOME! just make sure you've got a padded cage of some sort and you're set. (you don't want to be hitting the 'open airlock' button by accident when you're looking for a handhold.) you wouldn't have gravity pulling body parts in unfortunate directions.

    @stre:


    No there are way more problems, like errr, even getting it up.


    Also, you'd have to have both people strapped to some thing. Not exactly foreplay if we are talking about an ISS like environment .....


    Plus if you sweat, or guy or girl release any fluids they go flying around...and im not just talking about semen. Giving a nice BJ getting it nice and wet would be awfully hard...

    Imagine those balsawood plane models with this. Great way to lose an eye. I want one. No, Two. I want to race them.

    @enchantedgoose: Can you make a Lego Mindstorms "Paper-Airplane Maker" too? It would be cool if you could just drop in a ream of paper and have it make identical planes like an assembly line, then launch them, say out an office window...


    Especially if each sheet of paper was fed from a printer that printed random haikus or zen koans on each sheet...
