Here is an unusual project, to prove how tough its memory cards Samsung is sending weather balloons 21 miles up in the air, where they will release 100 paper planes with memory cards on each one, these cards will contain messages uploaded by users through a special website for the project. Some people in the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, USA and South Africa have reported seeing these planes. Interesting idea I must say! This project is conducted by the Viral Factory in the UK.
