Paper plane will fly to earth's surface

Gadgetell had this strange article about the joint collaboration of he International Space Flight Center and researchers from the University of Tokyo and the Japanese Origami Airplane Association to create a paper plane that is capable of surviving the flight from its base to the surface of the earth. It's about eight cms long and apparently it's strength and heat resistance is currently being tested. According to the site:

The University of Tokyo research group has successfully designed a special paper plane model that was able to withstand a Mach 7 (8,6000 kilometers or 5,300 miles per hour) high velocity stream for 10 seconds.

Maybe sci-fi movies / series will incorporate this idea - the ultimate weapon against replicators!
