Launched from space: 200 paper planes!
On January 17, a few guys in Germany launched into space a weather balloon outfitted with a tracking device, a camera – and 200 paper planes. When the balloon reached a high enough altitude, it exploded (best part of the video!), releasing the planes, each of which had been affixed with a memory card with pre-loaded messages from the project’s website. The crew is gauging where the planes traveled by tracking people who log onto their site, Project Space Planes, with one of the found plane’s memory cards in hand. Reminiscent of Colin’s Rich’s camera balloon and Riley Crane’s Red Balloon Challenge, we’re curious to see what they find.

Although kilimo salama could go a long way in helping farmers,its leave a lot to be desired this is in reference to the poor facilatation and rumenaration given to its field trainers despite receiving large ammounts of grants.A lot of resources and funds are used in other activities that do not ammount to sentising farmers.One then wonders are the people concerned intrested in reaching more farmers.
