The planes are launched up there by a mobile phone and then scientists will observe which developed plane flies better, they are trying to catch them by video camera and the are as happy to catch sight of an origami plane as the NASA to see a returning space shuttle.
A civil space program with minimal means, in an environment friendly way, in a friendly manner
- in an open source workshop. Competition is friendly and it's the tiny planed that compete and not the superpowers who are threatening each other. Who would not call this a vision of a new period after cold war and the age of modern, based on an approach that is opposite to modern ...

Works are like thought-inspiring springboards, offering you a chance to jump, to jump off from modern and modernity and get acquainted to all kinds of new thoughts and start to get to know our next (present) brand new age ...
