Well 90,000 ft altitude isn't exactly space.

Does sound like they had fun making it though. Been following this PARIS bird for some time.

The most interesting Paper Airplane is the one that they are going to drop from the international space station for a re-entry into the atmosphere.

They were able to take photographs clearly showing the black of space and the curvature of the earth. I only wish I could get that done. They packed chemical hand warmers around the camera to keep it from freezing. So for under $1000 they took pictures that no-one else has ever done for less than $1million dollars.
