MySPACEplane

Hentai was weird. Then the news came that there's gonna be a sub-orbital insertion of an origami spaceplane. For real. Somehow it's gonna hit Mach 7 or so, not burn up, and then land on water or earth. My money is on water... playing the odds, for sure. Seriously sweet though who drops paper airplanes from orbit? Guess it IS called origami which makes it way cooler and more technical. I got a really good idea about monetary inflation though. We all collectively start lauching our paper money into orbit, make the astro/cosmo/taikonauts fold it all into planes which are poorly designed and we all get to watch the excess money burn up on it's way back to earth. The cost alone of putting a lot of money into orbit is gonna burn up a ton of cash... much less the actually burning as it re-enters the lower atmosphere. Though I guess it would totally get weird if those huge euro coins were used too. Probably they would look great burning up, but who knows, maybe they could make it most of the way back, maybe they'd pollute the skies worse, maybe they'd create lots of contrails and help reduce global warming.
