So far the planes have resisted wind speeds of up to Mach 7, seven times the speed of sound. They have also endured temperatures of around 300 degrees Celsius

their idea is to study how to design better spacecraft by observing the perfromance of paper plane. let just hope they can locate the plane as it float away... i wonder if the astronaut will bet on who can spot the paper plane!

i will call mythbuster on that. i don't believe a paper plane can kill you even if it is specially build from material that can survive reentry...
