Japan Launches Wooden Satellite
Briefly

"The use of an entirely renewable material in space could minimize its environmental impact once it's retired."
"With timber, a material we can produce by ourselves, we will be able to build houses, live and work in space forever."
"Metal satellites might be banned in the future; if we can prove our first wooden satellite works, we want to pitch it to Elon Musk's SpaceX."
"Early 1900s airplanes were made of wood. A wooden satellite should be feasible, too."
