Peace-mongering origami re-entry vehicle??

I'm not usually prone to linking to other people's content as I prefer to blog on what I've seen, done, experienced etc..., but this is not only funny, but ingenious!

It's a mach-7, heat treated, space shuttle-shaped origami [yep, folded paper!] plane to be launched by the Japanese from the International Space Station [no launch date set as yet], with the possibility that it will gently float back to earth. Here's the link:

Enjoy!
