Hi folks,
My son (9 years old) today asked me a question that I had no idea the answer to:
What would happen to a paper plane, if it was launched from the International Space Station into Earth's atmosphere?
Now, the dilemma for me is would its design and material structure see it burn up like meteor?
Would its design and material see is crumple up and slow down to a flutter?
It's not like the density of a paper plane would allow it to behave like a stone. It has a massive surface area by comparison too. Sure it is initially moving at some 20,000km/hr, but...
I honestly just don't know what would happen to the paper plane!
Any ideas?
