já tinha ouvido a conversa antes mas agora tá repercutindo:

japanese scientists believe origami airplanes could make it back to earth without burning up. a prototype shuttle built from folded paper and coated to withstand stress was able to survive durability tests in wind tunnels.

if this all sounds nutty to you, consider this is from a country that has a culture of alien creatures sodomizing school girls, mount doom sized buildings, and food delicacies that guarantee a 99.9% chance of death if prepared incorrectly. so why are you surprised? i'm not. hell, i'm sitting here wondering why the entire japanese airforce isn't made of origami planes.
