Don't the Japanese have better space research projects than to use the International space station to fly paper airplanes?

I reckon these people have a bit too much free time on their hands. Maybe they should take up Silent Hunter?

Oh C'mon. Where is your sense of humor, that would be the most awesome paper plane flight ever!

Bet you guys complained about Shepards lunar golf tee-off as well...

Yeah, be thankful it's only paper airplanes, not locating whales from orbit... ;)

I'm not complaining, I actually think its pretty good. Mind you, it would be just my luck to get it in the back of the neck when it comes in to land...:doh:

I rather break wind than sit glued to my TV watching that. :smug:

Ya know, when I used to chuck paper aeroplanes out of my Middle Schools third floor window, they used to go about a meter and a half out and then just nose dive due to the air flow. Tins, model cars and pencil cases didn't fly well either... :hmm:

Perhaps I should suggest these items to the Japanese to use as well...

If you'd learn to multitask you'd be able to do both at the same time.

Right I'm off to college to see if there is a course for this. :rotfl:
