I already have a few ideas so what I really need are references to opinions on some futurologists. Quotations will also be helpful.
I'm sure there are lots of candidates… but I think of the XB-70. This 1st flew in 1965 there. I was there! This was the precursor to the Concorde, in concept if nothing else. At higher speeds the center of lift moves aft ('aft' is an aircraft/nautical term used here to make it sound like I know what I am talking about) and to maintain control, the wings would fold down to move the lift forward again. At a distance this plane looked like a banana pulling an orange crate. Remember, the fuselage bent up then level again, forward of the wings, more pronounced than on the Concorde. My uncle worked on this plane and they had to invent new techniques of skin bonding, and also the new honeycomb/aluminum sandwich skin material. This has been used in many high performance planes since then.
Or maybe the choice should be one of Burt Rutan's composite planes. This construction technique is really 'taking off' these days. And in home building, Oriented Strand (OSB?) boards are an engineered composite. To get the strength needed in a given direction, metal must be extruded, forged, cold-worked or whatever, but composites have off-the-shelf material (cloth) that has different and specific engineered properties. One chooses the strand type, diameter, weave, orientation and binder to achieve whatever strength necessary.
the best place to get started is in a magazine – buy a few and read the articles in them, then try submitting yours to one (or more) that had articles closest to your own
be warned you will get very little for your first few that ARE accepted – you need to become established before you can command significant sums
Good one Dave, what you say starting at 10 minutes was critical I think.
Very glad to see your message making it across traditional borders that surround the academy.
And nicely done, too!
Let the caveman who does not choose to accept the axiom of identity,
try to present his theory without using the concept of identity or
any concept derived from it — let the anthropoid who does not choose
to accept the existence of nouns, try to devise a language without
nouns, adjectives, or verbs — let the witch doctor who does not
choose to accept the validity of sensory perception, try to prove
it without using the data he obtained by sensory perception — let
the head-hunter who does not choose to accept the validity of logic,
try to prove it without logic — let the pygmy who proclaims that a
skyscraper needs no foundation after it reaches its fiftieth story,
yank the base from under his building, not yours — let the cannibal
who snarls that the freedom of man's mind was needed to create an
industrial civilization, but is not needed to maintain it, be given
an arrowhead and a bearskin, not a university chair of economics.
– John Galt
Is this a question or are you just typing all this into Answers to help you remember it?
I hope you aren't expecting someone to actually define all these terms for you?
Ok, I'll give you ONE to keep you happy-
a phalanx is a style of infantry fighting developed in Greece from around 800bc. Hoplites stand shoulder to shoulder and wield their spears overarm, their right side protected by their neighbours' large round shield. The Macedonians made the spear longer (from 2-3 meters to 5-7 meters) and the shield smaller in around 360bc.
I already knew that except I am not of German decent I am of Swedish decent.
I think each series is as diverse and rich in their own mythologies, technologies, and canon as any of the other.
Alien Nation is also rich with history, technology, characters and a detailed universe. So is Space: Above and Beyond, Beauty and the Beast, and Sanctuary.

Let's say you fix it to the point where it looks like you are really fluent in Korean. They hire you, based on that assumption. When you get there, they find out it isn't true. What will you do then?
Better just send the resume in English. I would be willing to bet that their English is better than your Korean, and that way you won't be misrepresenting anything.
