The world's first paper plane space mission launched by the British team of space enthusiasts Steve Daniels, John Oates and Lester Haines.

The team made the airplane out of paper straws and covered it with paper. They attached the paper plane – which has a 3ft-wingspan and a camera to a helium balloon and released it into the air from a remote area 50 miles west of Madrid, Spain on October 28, 2010.

The helium balloon soared 23 miles above ground taking dozens of amazing pictures of the Earth gliding safely back to earth.
