Oregami Paper Aeroplanes

Oregomy is useful in space in other ways, isn't it? So i guess i can see where they're coming from. I think it's been used by japan solar panels, and nassa more recently. And they use mure folds. We've doe it. O in latin so oncome they never did these happen? Well, it's really hard thing to do. It was a really nice idea. But if they did try it and it came back into the earth, it's so tiny without any g p s device on it, we would just know nothing. At least two thirds of the paper aeroplanes that i ever make either kind of

So if you can seno oly to
Speaker 2
sit on an paper aeroplane, are you d we no,
Speaker 1
but you might sit inside a big paper aeroplane ic or treated card or something, or, you know, thas chemical contens tesi they word they would. I mean, that's what they said. The justification was, was lighter vehicles for re entry. It don't need reason for science. Hadna, you can do science for science's sake. Point wat rigt, it discovers its own discoveries. That's what scientist says. N, that'sthts, that's the line. That's the official line. O in latin so oncome they never did these happen? Well, it's really hard thing to do. It was a really nice idea. So, this was in two thousand and eight, and there were researchers at the university of tokio, who teemed up with japan's oregomi aerplane association. This was going to be oregami paper planes that were put together and put through and so they did all these tests and wind tunnels at the university, and they managed to show that this plane could actually hold its own at huge speeds of wind passing through it. So all looks like it could possibly work. The problem is, is that if they did try it and it came back into the earth, it's so tiny without any g p s device on it, we would just know nothing. It would be impossible to tell

thousand an a. I think another problem is, i would say, at least two thirds of the paper aeroplanes that i ever make either kind of go straight up and stall and land where i threw them, or go straight down and crash into the year. So you needn't train your astronauts to be proper paper aeroplane makers, don't you? It's true. And they've
Speaker 1
already got a law on their plane, as got usedfo trying to day. Well, oregomy is useful in space in other ways, isn't it? So i guess i can see where they're coming from, is it? I think it's been used by japan solar panels, and, in fact, by nassa more recently. They suddnly had a plan to. And they use mure folds. Don i think it is that o you pronounce that. We've doe it. Oyolie, mure folds are basically how you fold maps. For instance, you know, when they fold up really small and flat, and then you can spring them outward so that they're really bing, almost like an accordian
Speaker 2
y, they're in a really small little square.
