BBC News - Amateur space enthusiasts launch paper plane into space
A team of amateur British space enthusiasts has achieved a world first by sending a paper plane into space. The plane, made of paper straws and covered in paper, was launched in Spain using a helium balloon.
A camera on the plane's wing captured dramatic images as it flew back down through the earth's atmosphere.
The plane eventually landed 25 miles (40km) away from its launch site in a wood and only suffered a small hole in the wing.
